The Bardic Inquiry
I'm Nicholas Robinia, an ARPIA award-winning Australian tabletop roleplaying game designer. Most of my current roleplaying game designs are focused on solo play, and use innovative mechanisms to highlight the game aspect of the roleplaying experience.
Take a look at some of my games below, and if you want physical copies, some are on offer over at The Ravensridge Emporium.

A solo story game about spellcraft and wizardry.
A solo roleplaying card game about a magically twisted being in a strange world.
