How does solo roleplaying differs from just regular book writing or similar activities? And how is it without a group?

For me, this is interesting because I do intertwine book writing with solo roleplaying sometimes (I call it “gamified writing”), since I’m an author. But within itself, solo roleplaying is not the same thing as just writing a book or having imaginative thoughts in your head…

It’s a concept were you’re roleplaying, which means having someone else’s persona and the gameplay have different components that not – as for instance – book writing has. You as the character often letting an oracle system* like dice control many of the outcomes. You have a character profile that you created before playing that dictates the gameplay. You often have maps and figures moving across it just as in a board game. It’s just the same concept as playing a traditional table-top roleplaying game with friends, but instead of with others you play alone.

I like being both the GM* and the player so I usually create the worlds and everything myself. So I go into two different roles when playing. The GM who sets up everything and do the creative process of world building and the player who’s experiencing the world….
