In Roman Chronicle: A Historical Solo Journaling RPG, you are a solitary soul, a chronicler in an age of profound change, navigating the crumbling remnants of a once-unrivaled power. Your mission is to survive, to explore, to investigate mysteries, to make sense of a world in flux, and most importantly, to write your own personal history within this tumultuous historical period.

Every step you take, every decision you make, and every challenge you face will be recorded in your own journal, creating a unique narrative that is entirely your own. This is a game about personal stories woven into the grand tapestry of history, about the struggle and resilience of an individual in a dying world.

My goal was to create a solo journaling RPG that felt both approachable for beginners and richly rewarding for veterans. I wanted to build a world that immediately felt familiar, even if you're new to the specific history. And what better backdrop than the dramatic, crumbling grandeur of the Roman Empire? We've all seen its iconic images in movies, read about its legendary figures, and imagined its vastness. This shared cultural understanding provides the perfect canvas for your personal story to unfold.

In Roman Chronicle, you won't just read about history; you'll make it. You'll step into the boots of a lone witness trying to survive in a world where the eagles of Rome are faltering, where ancient roads crumble, and where new powers rise from the ashes of a once-mighty dominion.

No Game Master needed. All you require are dice, a pen, and a journal (or digital document) to chronicle your adventures. The rules act as your guide, the dice as your unpredictable fate, and the evocative historical setting your vivid backdrop.
