What it is about
The Tri-Die Hack is a set of rules that you can use to convert many popular traditional tabletop roleplaying games (RPG) into a simple solo RPG instead.
This “hack” has the following features: → Aspect-based characters. → A novel approach to characters that replaces attributes with “approaches”. → A system for increasing difficulty as characters progress towards their goals. → A unique polyhedral dice system for resolving tests. This document contains everything you need to start playing in the setting of your favorite TTRPG as a solo game today! All neatly contained within 15 content-filled pages. PLUS ZINE! As an alternative, this hack also comes as a pocket-sized zine! (For help on crafting your zine, see the following resource from Cambridge: https://www.museums.cam.ac.uk/sites/default/files/how%20to%20fold%20a%20zine.pdf )
