Das Grundregelwerk lässt sich momentan nicht erwerben, zumindest nicht auf deutsch. Hat wohl mit der neuen evolved Edition zu tun, die es allerdings nicht auf deutsch gibt? Weiß zufällig jemand ob es einen Reprint des deutschen regelwerks geben wird? Bitte entschuldigt die Frage aber ich in neu in der rollenspielwelt und wollte mir Alien zum Einstieg zulegen.
Like many others here, I need help getting into solo roleplaying. I’m an experienced board gamer, but when it comes to RPGs, I’m a complete beginner.
As soon as I started looking into roleplaying games, it quickly became clear to me that this hobby is just as much of a rabbit hole as board gaming… and that my problems are very similar here as well: so many interesting options and systems, but where do you even begin — and more importantly, what actually works well for solo play?
It’s rare to get a larger group to the table. In board gaming, solo play is usually easy to set up, but with RPGs I currently find it difficult to judge what works and what doesn’t.
What I want is:
What I don’t want is to be the game master.
I’m used to playing against a system, not being the system. I have no problem with detailed rulebooks or managing mechanics and systems. But the adventure itself — the challenges, mysteries, combat encounters, and everything else an RPG can offer — should ideally be handled by the game/system and still be able to surprise me.
At the same time, I also don’t want a “gamebook” experience like the Call of Cthulhu solo adventures, where — at least from what I understand — it’s basically more or less a “playable novel.”
Now I’ve come across several RPGs that really appeal to me:
Some of them apparently even include solo rules. But what does that actually look like in practice?
As you can see, I have a lot of questions, and that’s also why I haven’t bought a starter set or core rulebook yet.
I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts 😊
