A how to guide to solo playthrough D&D 5e published adventures

I've had a long week, because I've been basically moving on high gear for the past 5 days and I'm like exhausted as woah. So some brainless chatter.

Why solo D&D?

Have you ever solo'd an MMO? Played solitaire board games? Played chess against yourself? Played any form of "multi-player" yourself?

There you go. If you enjoy a game, you wanna play it and you don't want to have to wait until you can wrangle 3-5 adults into setting up a schedule to play with you. Hence. Solo D&D.

OK, but why D&D?

Because it is the biggest TTRPG on the market. There's a lot of published adventures for D&D and once you figured out how to play D&D by yourself, you'll probably have a good idea of what kind of rules are fun for you versus what kind of rules you don't like. And you'll be comfortable running through any kind of system and hacking it into doing what you enjoy.

So, let's get to playing some solo D&D.
