Loner: Paranormal Files

A solo RPG of secrecy, anomalies, and impossible truths You are the only line of defense between reality and what leaks through the cracks. In Paranormal Files, you play an agent—freelance or embedded—tasked with investigating the strange, the unexplained, and the deeply classified. One case leads to another, threads fray and converge, and soon the line between fact and fiction begins to dissolve. Who controls the narrative? Who controls the truth? Built on the minimalist Loner system, Paranormal Files strips the solo RPG to its essentials: dice, tags, and a relentless Oracle that never blinks. You won’t find stats here—only traits, frailties, strange gear, hidden motives, and a twisting trail of redacted reports. Use surveillance logs, case files, forbidden archives, and corrupted signals to trace the anomalous. Face cults, cryptids, entities, and the bureaucracy that fails to contain them. Unravel secrets, but beware: the deeper you dig, the more you might remember what you were trained to forget. No prep. No game master. Just you, your notes, and the creeping feeling that you’ve been on this case before. Cover and internal stock photos by Unplash and Pexels.
