Oldskull Solitaire Book One - Quests & Characters

Choose your own adventures.

Stalk as a lone wolf hero, fighting though fantasy worlds of sword and sorcery.

Oldskull Solitaire, Book 1: Quests & Characters is a deluxe toolbox supplement designed to bring your solo adventures to life.

You can use this tome to provide extra options for your favorite Community DMsGuild or Dungeons & Dragons solitaire system, such as the excellent Solo Adventurer’s Toolbox, the Dungeon Oracle, the Solitaires Method, Gary Gygax’s dungeon-generating Appendix A, or any “sandbox” setting of your own devising. You can even use this book on its own to guide your personal storytelling and world design, leading you into fantastic new worlds far beyond the Dreamlands.

Author Kent David Kelly – creator of over 100 RPG supplements including Castle Oldskull, the Classic Dungeon Design Guides, the Game World Generator, Grimrook, Hawk & Moor, and Oldskull Swords & Sorcery – is proud to bring you this treasury of solo play options that will empower all of your future adventures into 2025 and beyond.

Within this guiding tome you will find thousands of innovative adventure elements, including 34 reliable story paths, 25 aspiring backgrounds, 105 story-driving traits, 84 fate-altering bonds, 105 adventure-motivating goals, 72 conflict-inducing flaws, 4,000+ evocative character names, 59 pieces of unique special equipment, 300+ trinkets of destiny, 360 Immortals and Fates, 75 dramatic framing events, and more.

You will also discover quest generators and the Oldskull Oracle, a complete symbolic imagination system that you can power through endless D100 rolls, or with your favorite deck of tarot cards. Both types of emergent play are supported by the Oracle, and you can switch between dice and cards on a moment’s notice without disrupting your adventures.

The (unaffiliated) Solo Adventurer’s Toolbox is recommended as a companion to this book, but it is optional nonetheless. You decide how much structure you want to add to your solitaire quests and journeys.

Adventure hopes to find us all. Enter a never-ending world filled with endless stories still untold. You do not need a Game Master to use this book. In solo play you can become a heroic reflection of yourself, or someone else entirely. Explore worlds of your imagination, brave perils and storms, befriend wondrous creatures and conquer monstrous foes. You make every choice, and you control the manner in which these fantastical tales unfold.

Oldskull Solitaire represents the first volume of an exciting new supplement series that will be powered by you, and your requests. If there is something more you want to see, it can all be created for you in the future. All you need to begin is a here. Answer the call to adventure, and begin your hero’s tale today!
