The core game
In VISORPG Z+ Gold Edition you’ll find rules for playing a solo RPG story, taking plenty of inspiration on how videogames work and also screening plenty of lists of tropes for different genres.
Thus, the game includes...
1) Rules for character creation, from the game Main Characters to the 'just being there' Bystanders.
2) Rules for setting generation (a.k.a. 'game templates') for a heap of different genres: classic fantasy, isekai fantasy, modern shounen supernatural action, sentai, mahou shoujo, pulp adventures, science fiction, and more.
3) Four fully filled game templates so you can just press the START game button without all the previous set up.
3) Rules for Dialogues with NPCs, inspired on dialogue trees from videogames. Icon-based dialogue trees, to be precise. Also, rules for relationships with NPCs (and Factions)...and between NPCs (and Factions)!.
4) Rules for Action resolution. Yes, that capital 'A' is important. You can resolve dramatic conflicts, tense investigations, mecha combats, etc., with them. Also, fishing, home furnishing and game-card collecting, if that's your thing!
5) Tables full of special events for different genres (Action, Horror, Comedy, etc.), sample characters an locations, etc.
6) Rules for Personal Projects, Big Projects, Mass battle, Vehicles, Mass combat, Puzzles, Case solving, etc.!
7) Rules for Tournaments. Not necessarily Martial Arts Tournaments...but yeah, mostly those.
8) Rules for carrying out sleuthing investigations, scholarly researches and brainstorming sessions.
9) Rules for exams and other academic-related stuff.
10) A long Tutorial (and that's an understatement) that takes the form of a replay.
The origin
VISORPG was the result of an experiment: as explained in the game’s introduction, I had known about ‘solo’ RPGs from a long time, but I always had found that concept a little strange…so I never dared to give them a try. Cue 2022, and as one new Year's resolutions I decided to make that try, after all! And I decided that because the concept didn’t sound so strange to me once I started visualizing me as playing that kind of game as an adventure/RPG/visual novel videogame...without computer, console or whatever. On the other hand, I didn’t know about any already existing solo RPG which worked in such way…and, nevertheless, I was interested in trying a very specific kind of story, so I decided to homebrew my own system. And, at the end, writing the rules turned out into part of the game, so I started putting them in a somewhat readable format. The key word here is 'somewhat': wrote the game in English...which isn't my first language.
[Yeah, a solo RPG which was initially thought for just my own use, and I didn’t use my first language. Go figure.]
Fast forward a few months: in September 2022, I started writing a new version of the game, with plenty of changes…but keeping most of its essence. Ah, yeah, and most of the material that was already writing because I didn’t want to reinvent the wheel! Cue November 2022…and there it was, the second edition of the game: VISORPG Z.
Fast forward another year: at December 2023, I started correcting errata from the previous edition and...well, let's just say that I got a bit carried away, leading to VISORPG Z+.
And fast forward again to September 2026, and this time I got VERY carried away, nearly doubling the word count of the whole deal with the curren VISORPG Z+ Gold Edition!
