Doing things alone (good)

comet_scoutHey, what's up? It's been slow from my end (what a surprise) but that's alright.
Recently I've been getting into Solo Tabletoping, and have been running a campaign with a fan-made Bionicle system (Doronai Nui by Red Star) + Mythic GM and some extra things. Because I'm just relearning some TRPG principles it's been slow, (tbf, maybe going for a fan system that expects you to already know what you're doing, wasn't a good idea) but I've been having a blast!
Right now my Matoran character, who is cast away on an abandoned island, is exploring a, presumably, ancient Toa Training temple. I mean, is what I assume the place may be, with the generated information given by the dungeon generator I got + Mythic. You would think making adventures with generators would end up with a mess, but I guess because it depends on you to interpret things, it fit things together really well while still making it feel unpredictable.
I've been watching this youtube called Geek Gamers, a generic name but she's good, about Solo-TRPGs, and I'm already planning and taking notes to run more campaigns in the future, either with more solo appropriate systems or not. When I saw the new Transformers TRPG by renegade I was pretty excited to try a TF one, but then I heard they are somewhat infamous for having messy rulebooks. But whatever, Transformers has been around since the '80s, someone somewhere made a good fan-TF-TRPG for free by now, I'll look into it later.
The last time I tried TRPG was long long ago with my cousins and a dude that lived close to my grandmother's house, it was a lackluster campaign because no one know wth we are doing, but it was very fun to play every or so week that I was there. Sadly my cousins moved away and I lost contact with the guy. There was a sad attempt at school when I was doing fashion with a small group that was on games, but only I and another girl (in a group of DM+4) really took it seriously, and obviously, the DM wasn't happy about it. The last attempt was a 3D&T campaign with my sister that never took shape, she was actually a 3D&T DM for the longest time and did a few campaigns with others but had to stop because of family. Then I stumbled upon this video about Solo Playing and was like "Fuck it, may as well try it" and I'm glad I did and to know there are so many resources about it.
