So the only game ive played was dnd and its hard finding a group for some reason and i dont really like that online stuff. so i like dnd but i have no-one to play with that i know and dnd can be complex at time.

is there by chance a free rpg tabletop game that is great for solo beginners who want to play more rpg's and such? i just feel like i need something besides computer games to play/do.

It depends on the amount of roleplay vs journaling you would like to try. My first try was with D100 and Four against the Darkness, but they were closer to a boardgame from my point of view. After that I tried Scarlet Heroes, one of the best solo rules and tables to play any classic DND game. Or anything, the tables and oracles can be used in a lot of different games. Now, the standard suggestion is Ironsworn because it's great and easy to play (although the book is big, everything is variations of one move). OH, did I mention it's free?

And then you can find Mythic GME 2ed, probably the best tool available to play any TTRPG solo. It's really worth it, but there are others easier to understand (I'd suggest One Page Solo Engine).

It depends on what you'd like to play: What setting? Where would you put the focus? More throwing dice? More journaling? Adventures? Epic fantasy? Sci-fi?
