So the only game ive played that isnt chess or monopoly, is dnd and i like it the thing is my family members dont want to play becasue its too complex and im trash with storys and planning.

it would help if there is a solo game or and easyier version-like dnd or something of that nature. do you know of any also what makes them good or worth checking out? linking links would also help if that is possible.

Not sure about solo games, but check out ten candles for a game where you won't need a lot of prep.

If you like stuff like D&D, you could try to check out ways to simplify character sheets (or pre generate characters) and use existing modules for one shots.

There's a lot of free ones you could start with - I kept getting recommended a oneshot called A Most Potent Brew when I was looking for one. It's a pretty fun time and you won't have to come up with something new to run it.

If you want to further simplify gameplay for D&D, you can have a coin toss determine if you hit or not, and a d6 (regular 6 sided die) for damage. Movement is 6 squares a turn. Play it more like a video game, just on paper.
