Cozy Solo RPG Card Oracle System
A downloadable game
Every Game a Solo, Co-op, and or Journaling Game
This book provides you with a method to play TTRPGs without a gamemaster or to expand journaling games such as “Last Tea Shop” or “Apothecary”, which often offer very little support to help you go beyond just a few random encounters.
In addition, this system is meant to help you turn every game into a journaling game, while injecting slice-of-life and cozy moments into any RPG so that you can journal the downtime of your favorite TTRPG character, and or their retirement. Want to play 5e, Pathfinder, Dungeon World, Wanderhome, Fiasco, and more by sitting down and writing creatively? Great!
You can also use this system to play cooperatively, by helping you build the world and quests around you as you play, by inspiring you to discover what happens to your character.
If this sounds complicated, don’t worry, solo roleplay is deceptively straightforward, which is good, because in TTRPGs the simple solution is often the best one.

This is quite unlike any other oracle or set of tables I’ve used before, and in a good way it is rather unpolished, even raw, in a manner that encourages me to engage with it recursively rather than just consuming it. Polishing it, making it easier to use, even acting almost as an editor towards it has been part of the fun I’ve had with it. The table of contents at the front is wrong; and even if it was correct, I messed up while printing it so some of the page numbers have gaps. I ended up making my own ToC and using sticky tabs to make it easier to thumb through. Some of the titles are at the bottom of columns; some of the tables contain mysterious, possibly vestigial numbers.
My latest solo character jumped from the pages of this oracle - the Red Planet Rogue, a scout in the sandy Martian desert ripped straight from the pages of a Barsoomian epic. Who knows how his quests will go? Maybe the answer is buried in the oracle, or maybe I will find it for myself.
For a resource I’ve got for free I think this is excellent. I’m highly likely to come back and actually buy it, once my financial status is a bit more stable. Thank you Ty! Your cozy oracle has a place of pride right in the middle of my solo gaming binder, with a tab all to itself.
i love this oracle system!
Thank you very much.
