The Crystals of Z’leth is a solo adventure of exploration, discovery, and survival that works with Dungeons & Dragons: 5th Edition.

The jungle holds many secrets. It will do anything to keep them.

You are part of an expedition to the ancient city of Z’leth. Few who have found the city have ever returned. Those that did make it out alive talk of a lost civilization, ancient secrets, and crystals of great power.

But all may not be as it seems, and there are secrets beneath secrets. Solve puzzles, survive ancient defenses, and manage your limited resources to uncover the mystery of the crystals.

Pick your own path. Play your own 5e character. No DM, maps, or minis required.

We are making this for you if you want more of your favorite TTRPG and would rather play than DM yourself in the downtime between sessions. The Crystals of Z'leth is designed for characters between levels 1 to 4. 

  •  Play your own 5e character. Made however you usually make one. The story is crafted so that all characters can succeed - or fail. 
  •  Take your own path through an interactive story where your decisions have consequences.
  •  Fight monsters, cast spells, and find treasure within an original story.
  •  Make progress with loot and experience that you keep in a regular tabletop game.

  • What Is a Solo 5e Adventure?

    A solo 5e adventure is a single-person interactive story that uses the game mechanics of Dungeons & Dragons: 5th Edition to play through a story as the hero.

    • Play your own 5e character made however you usually make one. The story is crafted so that all characters can succeed - or fail.
    • Take your own path through an interactive story where your decisions have consequences.
    • Fight monsters, cast spells, and find treasure within an original story.
    • Make progress with loot and experience that you keep in a regular tabletop game.

      The experience allows players to be a lone hero solving problems and overcoming challenges without a DM or party.

      However, each solo adventure more than a single-player game. Each story is designed to work with existing D&D 5e games as either a downtime activity between sessions or a way to add flavor to a new character prior to their appearance.
  • How the Game Works

    As you take your journey through The Crystals of Z'leth, you will have a chance to do all the things you probably love about TTRPGs, including rolling dice and choosing your own path through the adventure.

    • Interact with NPCs and your environment
    • Use your skills and abilities to overcome challenges
    • Cast spells, use magic items, and activate your class features
    • Fight monsters and other evil-doers


    All this works by following on-page prompts within the story and applying off-the-page effects to improve your character's chances of success. 


    The game mechanics will be familiar to anyone playing D&D 5e. From skill checks and saving throws to attack rolls and spell damage, everything about The Crystals of Z'leth is designed to give you the same thrill as a session at DM's table but whenever you want to play.

    Plus, re-play the adventure to explore different options. Every choice you make in this solo adventure has some kind of consequence, so take each new character down their own path.

A blast, can't wait to run this for my friends when the party version comes out

Excellent writing, beautiful artwork, wonderful twists in the story. My monk barely made it out with 1 HP. Cannot recommend enough for anyone and especially someone who is usually the DM

A Thrilling Adventure for a Forever DM

I hardly ever get the chance to experience D&D as a player rather than running the game, so I was intrigued to learn about the concept of solo gaming. Imagine my delight on discovering Obvious Mimic Press and their fantastic solo adventures. I rolled up a new character (half-elf Rogue, neutral good, if anyone’s bothered!) and got playing as soon as I had the book in my hands. The adventure was well-written and intriguing. The NPCs my character met seemed like real people straight away and I was curious to get to know them and their stories. I really struggled to resist playing through the whole book in one go, as there were so many twists, turns and cliffhangers. I loved the custom magic items I discovered along the way. The artwork was beautiful and really helped to bring the story alive. As soon as I finished this adventure I immediately ordered The Wolves of Langston! Keep it up, Obvious Mimic!

Great RPG tale with twists, suspense, and spot-on adventure!

Daniel and Kai created an adventure tale that deeply satisfied my craving for a sword & sorcery mystery adventure. I'm impressed how they created characters to interact with the hero with enough detail to make the story seem real, but to preserve space for the hero to be of any kindred, class, or gender. And the art? Crystals of Z'leth is as professionally produced as anything I've seen from TSR or Wizards of the Coast. I've already backed their next crowdfunding project.
