Solo In A lost Cause

These rules are aimed first and foremost at people new to solo playing or maybe have some experience with one of the big-name tools like Mythic or Ironsworn and want to break out into investigative games. A mystery is one of the hardest formats to solo play. It comes with all the complications of creating clues, and secret motives, which you both want to scheme behind your character’s back but also to make sense when you uncover the plot and resolve the mystery. Mysteries are at the heart of Silent Legions; mysteries married up to horror not unlike the stories of HP Lovecraft and his peers. Silent Legions is as much a toolkit for building your own mythos of cosmic horror as it is a roleplaying game that stands on its own two feet. The rules in this book provide common solo tools, oracles, and muses, as well as tips on running the mysteries and advice on solo playing.
