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 use obsidian.md on the desktop and android for organising my campaigns, solo or otherwise! I like it because you control/keep the markdown files - they're not at the whim of a cloud-service that may disappear or jack up their prices. It supports add-ins, and I used the dice-roller one to make several oracle pages, for Mythic tables, and others. And of course to just roll dice. Obsidian is very cool, with many features!

@Gunderstank @doggoblingames I've heard that Obsidian is also an excellent choice for notes, yes. It is also used for Second Brain-type stuff just like Emacs which I use.
