Eleven solo games have been very kindly donated by Kiwi RPG creators for you to play during this round. Choices range from the cosy adventures of a baby pūkeko on a marae, to something more mature, like a freshly turned vampire trying to save their maker. Perhaps you'd like to map the office on your first day of corporate hell—I mean life—or would you rather wander a magical tower while earning the trust of its occupants? Some are short and won't take long to play while others might take a couple of hours.

Sero (she/they), the facilitator, will provide the games and have supplies on hand—things like dice, playing cards, and notepaper. They will introduce you to the games, provide assistance, answer questions or chat about solo games and the like.

List of possible Solo RPGs available during this round might include:

• L-inked
• Two Graves
• Fresh Blood
• The Bog Eternal
• Bog Body, Watching
• Corporate Onboarding
• The Tower in the Meadow
• You're Going to Your Ideal Wetland
• Na te Puhipa - Your Dear Friend Busby
• It is a Beautiful Day on the Marae and You are a Baby Pūkeko
• It is a Beautiful Day in the Wetland and You are a Horrible Bittern

What are Solo RPGs?

Solo RPGs are tabletop games designed for just one person. You don't need a Game Master or others, instead you can play on your own, using mechanics like random tables, oracles, journaling prompts, etc, to guide the story and gameplay. Some can be played with good ole' dice, while others utilise different mechanics, like drawing playing cards, flipping coins or using a tumbling block tower.

Brindlewood Bay is a tabletop roleplaying game that combines Murder, She Wrote with H.P. Lovecraft. In it, you play a group of elderly women, members of the local Murder Mavens Mystery Book Club, who help the authorities solve murder cases in a picturesque New England Town. Over the course of their investigations, they become aware of a dark occult conspiracy that connects the cases, and will eventually have to face that conspiracy in order to save their community. The game is low-prep and easy to play no matter your experience with tabletop roleplaying games. The game requires 3 d6 dice (spare dice will be available) and will be especially approachable for anyone familiar with Powered by the Apocalypse games.
