Freeform Solo Roleplaying (a Guide)
It can be all too easy to get caught up on the rules of roleplaying games, and forget about the actual roleplaying - "playing a role", inventing a story, and having an immersive imaginative experience. This guide describes an accessible and easy way to get started in the art of Solo Roleplaying, without rules or a system.  There are no stats or numbers. Instead you rely on your knowledge of the characters, the in-world logic of the setting, and the natural flow of the story.
