Vox Profunda

Solo RPG Supplement by Man Alone

You have never seen an oracle like this before.  And you will never see it the same way twice.

Designed for solo roleplayers who seek not only deeper immersion in their gameplay but also in themselves, Vox Profunda is the next step forward for the ideas first introduced by Man Alone in Vox Gravis. Based on an even deeper exploration of the work of C.G. Jung, Vox Profunda pushes further into the primitive and esoteric, providing over a thousand unique inputs distilled through four separate oracle tools: The Keys, The Gears, The Fractals, and The Visitors, the last of which utilizes Jung’s methods of Active Imagination to summon audience with well-known fictional characters throughout human history.  Each of these figures – ranging from King Arthur to Lillith to Daedalus to Don Juan – were each chosen as scions of the immortal archetypes that form the basis of the shared symbolic language of the human mind.  

Yet it is not just about archetypes this time; Vox Profunda takes hold of the lens of focused illumination from its forerunner and smashes them into countless prismatic shards, each revealing a new aspect of each archetype.  The result?  Well, let’s just say in Section III (The Fractals) alone, there are almost 800 different possible results for each playing card you draw, including: Location, Food/Drink, NPC Motivation, Yes/No Oracle Result, Social Dynamics, Risks, Rewards, and more.  

There’s lots to explore here, with almost endless combinations of unique outcomes and options, along with plenty of examples to create unique ideas all your own.  Vox Profunda can breathe life into almost any game, whether made for solo or not.  
All carefully designed to elevate your solo play experience, this volume offers a powerful set of tools to enrich character exploration, decision-making, and storytelling depth.

Within these 104 pages, you will find:

• Hundreds of evocative prompts and archetypes to shape compelling narratives.

• Refined yes/no and interpretative oracles that provide more nuanced answers beyond simple binaries.

• Symbolic and psychological tools designed to help solo players delve into themes of fate, transformation, and self-discovery.

• Expanded roleplaying techniques, including structured reflection points that challenge your assumptions and deepen character progression.

• A broader range of narrative engines, allowing for both structured and freeform solo play.

• Unique methods for evincing profound insights, epic moments, and memorable characters, while weaving recurring motifs, and integrating personal meaning into your game.

For the lone wanderer at the edge of the map, for the dreamer listening to echoes in the dark, for the soloist seeking something beyond the surface—this is your voice in the void. Your story is waiting for you to find it.
