The thing I love most about TTRPGs is that the win condition is "I'm with my friends." The entire party can wipe out, as long as you've got friends and snacks, you've succeeded as much as if you've saved all Greyhawk from Kyuss made manifest. It's still pretty magical now, but before I turned 18?
@Leucrotta I've been dabbling with solo RPGs lately, though the current one, Starforged, is one I'm running for a couple of friends, I appreciate that I can use the Oracle tables to generate new sectors, planets, settlements, ships, etc. with a minimum of planning. Running solo is a different feel, like writing a story but you don't know what exactly is going to happen next.
