Can you Roleplay by yourself?

It seems to the novice roleplayer that a good part of RP is done solo, in general at least. Maybe I’m wrong but it seems logical that you would devise your character and your back-story by yourself. Perhaps your character’s story is shaped by others, but the seed, the core of the story is created by the player alone.

What is a solo RPG?

Solo role playing games (RPGs) allow you to play without a Game Master. In the early 1980s, the Choose Your Own Adventure and Lone Wolf books were an earliest form of solo RPGs. In them you would read a page or two, be given a choice, and read another page or two based on your choice.

What are role playing games examples?
