About the Book

The Solo Play Rulebook includes everything needed to create single-player RPG adventures on the Planet of the Apes! The book features design tools and guides to empower both new and experienced gamers to modify existing multicharacter scenarios for individual play and craft all-new solo epics utilizing an ingenious mix of oracles, emulator tables, and quick-reference charts. These resources can also be used by Lawgivers to quickly forge plots and conflicts for their player groups, ideal for when they don’t have a lot of preparation time to stage a game. Each of the three complete adventures included in the book embodies a different play style, from murder mystery narratives with set paths to randomized, improv-powered stories created on the fly with dice and encounter tables. This book requires the Role-Playing Game of the Planet of the Apes Core Rulebook for play.
