Hey guys, I’ve been collecting thoughts on single player RPGs to put up on a tabletop site I write for (Who Dares Rolls) and I thought of something that might be interesting to look into. The podcasters have mentioned a few times the concept of RPGs which are not intended to be played. What no-player RPGs can you think of for me to look into?

Quill, The Plant, Abnormal and A Real Game are on my list so far. I have things written about Quill which I’ve yet to finish and A Real Game which I want to leave until later in the series as its kind of more personal and around ARG than about it. Beast I want but postage is almost the cost of the game again so I may have to hold out on a PDF. Thanks for the list above though.
