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 Wolves of Langston, 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 Wolves of Langston 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.
Being a lifetime RPG/PC/xbox gamer, all my life I have wanted to get into D&D, but felt quite intimidated by the barriers to entry. With the advent of ChatGPT and the creation of solo adventure games like this one, I was able to use 5e and create a character, fill out (most of) a character sheet, buy myself my first bag of mystery dice, and get started. As I played through I used AI to help explain the differences for dice and what the stat boxes mean etc. In Wolves of Langston, I nearly gave up on the corpse fight - I was literally on attempt 12, which I had decided would be my last before just moving forward, and I finally defeated the corpse fair and square - the relief! This story was a really lovely introduction to a world that I have longed to be in for decades. It is giving me a little more confidence to try some more solo adventures before reaching out to a local group in my small town and see if I might sit in or even join an actual campaign for a newbie like me. Sincere thanks to Obvious Mimic for creating solo playing opportunities like this one. There are a LOT of rules to D&D and this was paced nicely that it was a good introduction to the world. It was reminiscent of the old Choose Your Own Adventure novels of my youth, but with dice throwing and turn taking attacks. I managed to level up my char and I look forward to my second solo adventure game soon.
So the character I rolled up for this game used the shifter species and acolyte background, using a Dark Knight ffxiv homebrew class. The basic idea was that she was purging her curse as offensive dark energy to stave off her lycanthropy. Anyway, It had been some time since I bought the product and I forgot it was about Werewolves so it made the in character choices pretty fun as my character would bullheadedly do anything to destroy a lycanthrope.
That said, the adventure handled her homebrew class well and she wasn't overpowered. Had easy fights, challenging ones, and the final one was pretty hard for her. Overall I think this is a fun way to test a dnd homebrew class, test the water as a beginner, or kill an afternoons worth of time!
Perfect for beginner to D&D
Enjoyed the central mystery. Intriguing characters. Fun treasure items.
For anyone who wants to grtbinto solo adventureing this is a great one to start with!
