Game Setup

Safety Tools

You will play alone, but be sure to play in an environment that is comfortable for you, without overexerting yourself, and reserve the option to stop as soon as you feel uncomfortable for any reason, physical or emotional. Don't be afraid to tackle new themes, but do so in full awareness of your boundaries.

Minimum Requirements

To play Loner you will need:

• 4 six sided dice (also known as d6s): two pairs of different colors
• Paper and writing tools: at least a sheet of scrap paper and and pencil, but index cards or sticky notes are a fine addition
• Character sheet: you may use the provided sheet at the back or a simple index card.
• Notebook: Loner is not a solo journaling game, you can easily play it in the "theater of mind". But you can keep track of you game if you feel the need!

Choose a genre or setting

A Loner adventure takes place in a well-defined imagery that you will have to choose from: your favorite TV series, a book saga you are reading, an RPG setting you like, a genre you are familiar with or instead want to start exploring.

You can also consult lists of tropes (google them) to generate randomly and then choose!

Or you can use the Adventure Packs found in the second part of the volume.

You can also generate the character first, based on randomly chosen tropes, and once it is defined, you can follow the genre that emerged at this stage.
