Solo Tales of the Quarterly Kind

Hello there,

Over the years I have collected many systems, loved some and hated others. So, for the year 2026 I thought let's stick with 4 systems and switch to a new system every 3 months to create a Solo Roleplaying story.

The series of blogs will be called Solo Tales of the Quarterly Kind or STQK.

The four systems that I will be using for this project are:

  1. Dragon Quest
  2. Gamma World
  3. OSE-Settlers of a Dead God
  4. Suldokar's Wake

The goal is to showcase the systems through a Solo roleplaying lens, while documenting the PC's adventures throughout the year.

Posts will have a mixture of narration, with a dash of tested mechanics within each system. The episodes will be divided by scene and will include footnotes, designating the rolls and tables used during Solo play.

Rolled 1d4, which gave me Gamma World as the first system I will be using.

This past week, I have been learning the system. Created 2 PCs and populated the map I will be using. More to follow!
