A Solo RPG for Emergent Storytelling

Loner

Minimal rules. Maximum story. Play anywhere, anytime.

Loner is a tabletop role-playing game designed for solo play. It uses a simple structure, tags and an Oracle, to help you create stories full of surprises, drama, and discovery. There are no character sheets full of numbers, no prep-heavy systems, just you, your imagination, and a few dice.

What started as a small personal toolkit grew into a series of supplements and standalone games. Whether you want to tell tales of pulp heroes, haunted investigators, drifting spacefarers, or time-lost wanderers, Loner gives you the tools to dive straight into play and see where the story takes you.
