Playing Tabletop Roleplaying Games Alone

Welcome to the SoloRPG community!

Some people prefer to play their tabletop roleplaying games alone, to avoid the drama and scheduling issues of traditional group games, while others play solo because they're unable to find a group to play with.

Whatever your case may be, you're more than welcome here to discuss your experiences as well as ask any questions that you might have.

For an introduction to this style of play, read Why Play Roleplaying Games Alone.

What sorts of tools/apps/programs/etc do people use to journal or record their solo adventures? I would love to have a fancy notebook and roll physical dice but being realistic I think something I could run on my Android as either a web or native app and handle both dice rolls and journaling would be ideal. I'm currently considering RoleGate since I use it for some PBP games with moderate success but I'd love to hear what other people use or have considered, either as all-in-one or standalone journals/dice/etc to make a complete system.

I just use a spreadsheet for everything. Google Sheets is great, but in keeping with the spirit of the Fediverse, EtherCalc is a less-corporate alternative. If being in the cloud isn't needed, Gnumeric is my go-to spreadsheet; it has a portable version for Windows and doesn't need to load a whole office suite to open up.
