OSR Cosmic Horror

Solo Roleplaying

Divider_Silver.png

Compatible with Eldritch Tales: Lovecraftian White Box Role-Playing(TM)

This is a rules supplement that allows you to play Eldritch Tales without a Game Master. The rules pick out the suggested optional rules from within Eldritch Tales that best suit solo play, and then add in randomised plot hooks, question and answer rules and some unique game mechanics to help bring some of the mystery of the classic Lovercraftian investigation.

These rules are an extention of my best selling OSR solo rules but introduce several key modifications to those rules light solo rules. 

The 'oncoming horror' mechanic introduces a way to moderate how and when the dark forces will come after you, when you know too much or are too dangerous.

I have integrated the insanity system to make it more playable, for a solo character.

More features are demonstrated in the actual play video below. 

Solo is a perfect way to learn a new game, test your first adventures and going beyond just making characters when you are first getting to know the rules.

Given the increasing theme in various sources of adapting Love craft for kids -- if that seems improbable, here are some examples:

Cthulhu 4 Kids -

Littlest Lovecraft -

Along Came Cthulhu -

Wee Weird -

Mr. Elder Thing's Big Adventure -

Lovecraft For Kids -

Young Cthulhu -

The Adventures Of Chibi Cthulhu -

C Is For Cthulhu -

Cthulhu Comes: For Children -

The Outsider (Cthulhu Young Readers Level 2) -

Tales From Lovecraft Middle School -

The Children Of Eldrich Lane -

A Picnic At The Mountains Of Madness -

Necronomicon For Children

...ANYWAYS, given this, can this supplement be adapted for a Lovecraft solo game in which the Investigator (i.e., the player-character) is a CHILD? Because the concept very greatly interests me...!

I went through the book this morning and I can see nothing in it at all that would prevent you from playing a child as the main protagonist.
I would probably suggest taking a few points from STR and having the choice of which attribute to add them to, to better reflect the youth of the character, but the solo rules should work just fine.

To what extent is this product compatible with other OSR Lovecraftian games? I have Silent Legions and while not solo out-of-the-box, it does provide quite a few GM tools useful for the Soloist. I was thinking about combining it with this system.

I don't know Silent Legions. (Is it good?)
The best answer I can give you is this.
1. Go to the Full Size Preview, or if that gives you a 404 then use this link: https://watermark.drivethrurpg.com/pdf_previews/323685-sample.pdf.
2. That is the entire PDF as the preview. The only difference is that this has a great big SAMPLE watermark.
3. Decide for yourself if this will work for you.
I don't want you to spend money on something that is simply not what you need.

DriveThruRPG does not support Community Copies. I always put the full PDF as the preview. If you cannot afford the $5 price tag, you are welcome to use the preview.

I hope that is an answer for you.

It is good! If Lovecraftian OSR is something you're interested in, I'd strongly suggest checking it out. It has straightforward mechanics and random tables for everything: generating your own mythos, generating eldritch locations (both on earth and in "other dimensions"), creating magical artifacts and weapons, etc. To get the full use out of it, you'd probably have to play a full-on campaign as opposed to a one shot. What it doesn't have is something for "automating" the behavior of the threat the way you propose. I will most likely make use of your system in that capacity. Thanks for your response!

Silent Legions is great. It is made by the same guy who made Stars Without Number. It works closer to first edition Stars Without Number.

I have spoken to Kevin Crawford, and bought Silent Regions. At some point in 2021 there could be a Silent Legions themed set of solo tools.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
