Solo D&D using FG
Hello
I don't own FG (yet?) and while doing a Google search I did find a thread from a couple years ago about using FG for playing D&D solo. I'm just wondering if anyone uses FG to play D&D solo? From the message I read you can do this with the DM client alone, not needing a player client.
I've played most PC rpg's, but I've always enjoyed the dice chucking and dungeon exploration of D&D but I'm not a rpg'er (mainly the "r" portion). I'm already part of a couple gaming groups, so I'm not looking for the social aspect of D&D.
I'm trying to find any success stories (youtube videos, blogs, etc..) of using FG to play D&D solo, but no luck.
Thanks

There are currently three (I think) FG Adventure modules available that were purposefully written for 5th Ed solo play.

I've played 3 of the 5 adventures that LordEntrails linked. They are pretty good. There are limitations but it works. I also have run many adventure modules solo. FG works great for it, better than when I used to do the same tabletop really since there's no clean up and it all waits for you if you need to take a break and come back later. Whereas tabletop you probably need some of those books if not the table and minis for your regular social games.
In addition to the adventures, I have read this product, and it has good advice for using any product as a solo adventure.

The Avalon Game Company has done a couple of Kickstarters recently for their Solo Adventure System - which is a party based, broad framework for playing D&D 5E adventures solo. It's not "pick-a-path", it presents a location, background, quests, etc. and you read through following the instructions, setting up the encounters presented, etc.. Then play them out using standard D&D rules. They've produced a lot of material that is only just beginning to make it into availability outside of Kickstarter:

There's a couple of free previews:

https://www.rpgnow.com/product/254211/ASA-Preview-3
These would work quite well in FG - allowing you to play through, tracking your PCs and running the encounters.Private Messages: My inbox is forever filling up with PMs. Please don't send me PMs unless they are actually private/personal messages. General FG questions should be asked in the forums - don't be afraid, the FG community don't bite and you're giving everyone the chance to respond and learn!

I did a 12 hr charity stream and about 8 hrs of it was me playing solo adventures. It worked well and was a blast.
