Anyone else DM for themselves? I still get out all the rulebooks and minis and shit but I just play all the players and the dm myself and do all the dialogue too out loud. I don't have any friends to play with
is this weird?

Yes. Seek help.

I'll take that hook.
Yes. At least if you were writing a book or play you could say you would legitimately be improving the craft by doing that shit out loud and activating the "this sounds retarded" response that doesn't like triggering in your own head or writing it out. But just playing D&D by yourself like you have schizophrenia and having all that go nowhere and do nothing is just stupid.
Dominic Sullivan
I don't play D&D with myself, but there are a few "lite" roleplaying games designed to be played solo out there that are OK. Sort of like choose your own adventure books but with dice and sometimes miniatures/cards.

Nah, you gotta do what you gotta do to be happy.
That being said, you shouldn't be such a baby as to not even hit up roll20 and shit.

But in all seriousness, try out Roll20, it's better than nothing unless it's just really fun for you.If that's the case, more power to you.

>Anyone else DM for themselves?
All the time. What started as encounter testing turned into some more enjoyable than running for other people.
>I still get out all the rulebooks and minis and shit
Same. I prefer to have a physical representation of what's going on.
>but I just play all the players and the dm myself
I tend to use rng and other tools to assist in this part.
>do all the dialogue too out loud
I've never had the urge, but I do write down what's happening, including dialogue.
>I don't have any friends to play with
I'm sorry to hear that user.
>Is this weird?
Short of talking to yourself, not really.
Have you considered looking into some of the solo rpgs that are out there?

I do, only I do it totally freeform. I just sit in my chair, close my eyes, and act out all these cool stories, only I don't do any voices or anything like that either. Sometimes I'll base the characters off of ones from movies or books I enjoy, sometimes I'll even add a little romance just for fun. I've done it since I was a kid, before I knew it was called DMing. I've even written some of the sessions down, but I never show them to anyone.
It's really embarrassing, sorry

I DM for my boyfriend
Joseph Turner
When I write backstories for major characters, or some of my own writefag shit, I roll to see how they perform during important shit.

I don't know, makes writing about it less dry.
