Chief amongst the elements of the psychology of fun are challenge, surprise, and problem solving. It's hard to have these elements solo.

The mediums being worked with now are not very good for solo RPGs. Think of how digital Klondike replaced analog Klondike play. The big names won't take a chance on a new medium. Most of the one-man hobbyists just mimic the big companies, because they don't really have any original ideas apart from spotting the obvious flaws in the big name systems, which the big names don't care about, because they're making money hand over fist selling those, and are afraid of breaking them even worse. So those little guys aren't trying new mediums either.

The closest they've gotten is one guy made a CYOA adventure book using drawings of the rooms instead of text. He had a page number key on significant things that he drew, and he's basically recreated the gameplay from DOS Bards Tale 1980 in a book. That's how fucking far we are behind in this shit and it makes me mad.

Video games are not tabletop games. WoW is not a substitute for playing D&D with your friends, so why would a single player video game be a replacement for a copy of Sorcery! and some dice?

Chiyo a shit. Only part of Azu I don't like.
