If you're on Reddit still, and you #SoloRPG I'd love to see your answer.
Also, OMG some of the ways people do this sounds ... so painful. Like OMG WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT TO YOURSELF, but it just goes to show how different our 🧠s are.

We don't just enjoy different types of games (trad vs narrative vs whatever) and settings. We also want to interact with our games in different ways at different speeds. There will always be some degree of "impedance mismatch" when playing with others.
