What sorts of tools/apps/programs/etc do people use to journal or record their solo adventures? I would love to have a fancy notebook and roll physical dice but being realistic I think something I could run on my Android as either a web or native app and handle both dice rolls and journaling would be ideal. I’m currently considering RoleGate since I use it for some PBP games with moderate success but I’d love to hear what other people use or have considered, either as all-in-one or standalone journals/dice/etc to make a complete system.
https://rolescape.io/ is a fantastic tool for GM-Prep as well as solo-rpging, everything from characters to locations to events is easily referenced. If you want the whole experience with character sheets and (virtual) dice, my answer is foundry vtt. Their module for Ironsworn / Starforged is top tier.
This is a very interesting question. Unfortunately, I don’t have an answer (interesting or otherwise). I do my prep in a desktop text editor called Emacs with the org-roam extension, but that doesn’t fit with your requirements unfortunately.
I’m just starting what I hope to be a long-running hexcrawl oriented game (I’ve been streaming my prep) and the one app that I’m leaning heavily on right now is a digital whiteboard app called Weje. I find it very useful to organize and gather information.
