I'd like to throw mine into the ring--the peaceful, non-combat oriented solo journal RPGs set in a solarpunk setting: The Van Witch, The Sun Patrol, The Sun Fleet, and Coven Dinner Party :D
Thank you for posting this! I love playing alone amongst the stars and also use it as a tool for my students. Do you have play experience with either 'Alone in the Ancient City' or 'Alone among the shifting Trees'. And if yes, what are the differences with AATS?
I have not. To be honest, I've only dabbled with Alone Among the Stars and for me, it's prompts were almost too minimalist for me to really engage with so I didn't stick with it. I wanted to include it because I know how much it's inspired other solo games and how many people I've seen talk about it and have had great experiences with. I'd love to hear more about how you use AATS with your students! I work with middle schoolers with autism and that sounds awesome!
I've used it for dream sequences in stories, because its always so bizarre how the different cards unfold after each other. I teach freshmen in university and use it in a course where we explore the different faculties of knowing as tools for writing. We use it as an exercise that dives into the imagination as contrasted with full bodied feeling (in which we use social and image theater exercises) thought, and sense perception. My students are a couple of years older, but I'm sure there is material on the subject for middle schoolers.
Also, I know I missed many so please let me know any ones that you've played and loved. Thanks
