Useful for so many situations - solo or not. A good spinkle of humour is nice bonus.

Like the old school feel, lots of useful material now to find my old modules. Thanks worth the money spent.

Really like the use of the symbols, it helps your mind fill in the blanks when you get to a scene and need the details.

I like the scope of these tables. They range from serious to humorous, creepy to fun and look like they'll work for any game where you might stumble across a lab. I have plans to use this for the Fallout 2d20 I'm running. Thanks!

my bible for solo play. highly reccomnend. worth every penny.

This is an excellent introduction to the issues around playing Horror games. If you are an experrienced Horror GM, there are still a few reminders and ideas within. Worth a read, took me about an hour to read.

I cannot believe i paid $4.95 for this. It is a 26 page .pdf file, with approximately 10 pages being title pages, photos, or fill in sheets for characters and/or plots. There is very little actual content and only a few tables provided. This is a $0.99 system at best based on what is provided. If i could refund my purchase I would, since this adds very little to my gaming experience.

Just ... ew. This is, literally, an oracle that may as well stemmed from Mythic. As a gentle introduction to oracles? Great. For those of us experience with oracles? No. This is Mythic disguised in other die rolls. As a matter of fact, and I will look closer at the 5E oracle, I suspect that Alone in the Dark shares the same icons. This feels like a gentler introduction to Mythic (yay?) while gently reminding that Mythic is the "grand daddy" of oracles. Just get Mythic. One tool, one job.

An excellent introduction to Solo RPGs. A must-have supplemental for any oracle when starting to do solo games

easily understood and readable in a single sitting! I use it with Whitebox all the time

I have been a GM for 30 years, and most aspects of running a game come easy to me, but I still found the transition to solo play to be a bit of a challenge. The tips and advice in this book clarify some aspects, and offer different perspectives than are found in other solo supplements. This isn't so much a "how to" as to a "how to think about it".

After you have a good oracle, and a favorite game system, I would say this is the next best purchase on a solo gameing journey.

Its says STars without number compatible but in truth its really compatible with just about any sci-fi RPG its not limited to SwoN despite what the cover suggests.

Thought it was a pretty inovative way to run a solo adventure. was considering running a solo adventure with me and the wife using the "mechanisms" of this product as the referee.

I thought this was a great read. I've struggled to get going with solo play in the past and found a lot of helpful stuff here.

Easily digestable advice broken down into small discrete sections that can be read in 2-3 minute sittings. Having gamed solo for 18 months, tried out several of the popular and obscure solo systems and guides, there was still a wealth of advice I was able to take from this PDF then immediately apply to my game. Thanks for sharing

PPM does a great job introducing solo concepts and tailoring a starting toolkit. Solo is very personal, and no two players solo the exact same way.

OSR Cosmic Horror Solo is one of the broadest products on offer from PPM and gives a really nice starter toolbox. You get a yes/no oracle, a twist mechanic, complex questions, a conversation (tone) oracle, a scenario generator, the oncoming horror mechanic and lots of advice for how to solo, how to solo and investigation, and how to solo the genre. Again, this is a ready made kit for playing OSR eldritch horror games - and it works just fine out of the box. I really appreciate the explanations of how to use the tools, and the optionality discussed.

Because ultimately, solo roleplaying for most people is assembling a variety of tools for different use cases. Here's a handful of tools that have broad applicability that are dialed in for the genre, and so using just and your favorite OSR rules, you've got a solo game. Or, you can take pieces and mix in other tools easily.

I love the oncoming horror mechanic - a suit of cards represents a force acting against you, but the Ace is the trigger. I also appreciate how straightforward and relatively simple the investigation mechanic is here. This is for emergent mysteries, not traditional pre-plotted gm-led story puzzles. PPM products are scene based, so the tools are built around having discrete scenes. This works for me, but I do know not everyone likes that format.

If you are at all interested in solo (or just GM less) play using some combination of OSR, Cosmic Horror, Investigations, then I can easily recommend this product as a starting point or a supplement to raid.
