Hostile Solo is a stand-alone solo roleplaying game set in a grim and gritty future, inspired by movies like Outland, Alien, Dark Star, Pitch Black, Event Horizon and The Thing. It allows a single player to create and play the roles of a group of blue-collar workers out in deep space, overcoming difficult challenges and facing unknown terrors. Although the name and the cover art suggest that the... [click here for more]
Players Guide to Solo Roleplaying
Using Cepheus Engine for Solo Play.
Solo roleplay is put forward as being for anyone who wants to play when there is no one else available. Most solo tools are actually built with the Game Master in mind. GMs are naturally more used to improvising entire scenes, creating NPCs on the spot, and having to grab random tables to create content on the fly. These are not... [click here for more]
SOLO is a solo add-on for Cepheus Engine and the 2D6 SF roleplaying game that it is based on.
If your players are out of town, or you want to experience your own sci-fi setting ‘from the inside’, SOLO is the answer. This isn’t the usual collection of random word tables - instead it presents an array of game types and campaign styles that you can play solo,... [click here for more]

Into The Westland Solo
Compatible with Westlands
These rules are written to be compatible with Westlands. Westlands is a fantasy hack of the Cepheus System by way of Sword of Cepheus. It is similar in many ways to Barbaric except in its treatment of Magic. Westlands has far less overt magic than the other Sword of Cepheus-inspired games. What magic there is is powerful but rare. This is not a game... [click here for more]
NGS is an adventure setting for Trav/Cepheus Engine, but it should be easy to adapt to other sci-fi rule systems as well. The rules presented here are a solo or GM-less framework for telling a story of exploration, discovery, mysteries, and survival. It kind of plays like Oregon Trail (if it was an RPG set in space.) You have a crew, equipments, specialists, and a mission. The PDF includes... [click here for more]
Cut Up Solo
Deathworld Trilogy
This is, in my opinion, the best Cut Up Solo supplement so far. It uses the texts from Harry Harrison's Deathworld trilogy. The PDF contains 2,000 snippets, the spreadsheets give you 25,000+ snippets.
You also get all the illustrations from the original stories. I included the art as I think it fits in with the philosophy of non-authoring solo play. A regular GM would... [click here for more]
Brute! Solo
For use with Barbaric
Barbaric is a wonderful fusion of light rules; your character only has two stats, Endurance and Lifeblood, and the grittiness of the Cepheus System. These core rules have been married up to most of the monsters we know from OSR games. What you don't get are the orcs and goblins as default evil humanoids. Barbaric! is much more human-centric.
These rules use a simple... [click here for more]
