So the only game ive played was dnd and its hard finding a group for some reason and i dont really like that online stuff. so i like dnd but i have no-one to play with that i know and dnd can be complex at time.

is there by chance a free rpg tabletop game that is great for solo beginners who want to play more rpg’s and such? i just feel like i need something besides computer games to play/do.

    Seems that what you’re looking for is Ironsworn, it’s a free, rules lite RPG that can be played Solo. I love it and it’s sci-fi counterpart (Starforged) and there’s also a pirate one in the making.

    Also not free (DnD also isn’t) but you can take a look at Dungeon World it’s based on Apocalypse world so it’s more RP friendly and can be very easy for newcomers because it’s much more rules lite than DnD. Personally one of my favorite systems for medieval fantasy, but I don’t really like DnD so this might not be what you’re looking for. To play solo you might need this supplement though I’ve never used it.

      Seconding Ironsworn, see it recommended a lot when it comes to solo play. I’ve not tried it personally but have read through a lot of the rules and liked what I’ve read.

      I’ll second Ironsworn - it takes a little bit to figure out the mindset, but it’s also improved my other games since I started playing it! And, yeah, Ironsworn is free!
