You are a cartographer…
It does not matter who you are outside of that.
Just know that you are now responsible for accurately recording and representing your surroundings.
You are to make a map of this place.
The Lonesome Cartographer is a tarot-based solo ttrpg about being a cartographer who is tasked with the research and creation of a map, representing a place that is important to you, your superiors, or your community.
You draw cards to determine Landmarks, and role dice to see where on the map they are and then again to see how your journey between those Landmarks treats you.
By the end of the game you will have a completed map, full of interesting places, landmarks, ruins, and people.
This game is a hack of Alone Among the Stars by Takuma Okada and is heavily inspired by Alone on a Map by Kaden Ramstack.

This is one of the games that got me started with solo RPGs and it has had a big impact on how I think about writing games. So pleased to see an update!
I have found this solo ttrpg a useful tool for creative inspiration.
thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it
