I didn't see a thread for this. I have the right board right? Here we will share resources and techniques about running or playing RPGs like D&D; that is non-video game RPGs.

thanks. I haven't had the time to read through all of them, but if I ever find something problematic or a good way to use them I will be sure to catalog it here.

This is a solo RPG thing I did as a 24-hour RPG back in June of 2006. You play by yourself, rolling dice and making decisions, and the role-playing part is basically you writing an in-character journal about what happens. You’ll need some ten-sided dice to play.

Isn't that called daydreaming? Or writing?

I know Call of Cthulhu has some solo adventures so that you can learn the rules by yourself in a play environment. Never tried them.

For those of us who use fantasy systems other than D&D 5E or Pathfinder, what are they and why did you choose them?

For me, I run Lamentations of the Flame Princess and I love the investment systems built in. Lets my players do something with all the gold they get showered with at the end of a dungeon (assuming they survive of course. Had 2 players go through 3 characters within the first floor of the first dungeon. Yes that sounds cheap but I was running the module as is.).

Fighting Fantasy and Lone Wolf were essentially CYOA books + a light RPG/dice rolling system. Whether you consider them good is up for debate, but they had (have, but I think it's kind of one of those "retro"/"nostalgic" things) a following. There are newer things cut from the same cloth as well, though they're understandably not super common.
