I can’t pick just one band, however, I clearly remember the first time I listened to
I’m sure there are more if I think for longer.
It was really good to be honest.

I started with no TTRPG experience at all around a year ago. There are some games (like D100 or Four Against Darkness) closer to a boardgame than an actual TTRPG. You throw dice and go with the results, no need to roleplay.
Regarding solo boardgames, I would say games where you play alone together, like each player doing it’s own thing in the board with minimal interaction or minimal rules modifications. Spirit Island already mentioned is one great example, Cartographers, Sprawlopolis or Agropolis, Resist!, One deck dungeon… seriously, there is an amazing amount of options depending on your taste (deck building, throwing dice, etc.).
For solo RPG? The standard suggestion nowadays is Ironsworn to be honest. And it’s free! I wasn’t a big fan at the beginning, so I started with Scarlet Heroes, it has everything you need to play pretty much any OSR game.
Then there are lots of specific games for solo, especially journaling games. Or using game master emulators you can play almost anything (Mythic GME is the most famous for a good reason).
What would you like to try? I’m quite new on this area but I might be able to suggest a couple of books. There are a lot of tools available to play anything available in the market.
I saw some messages about it, but the main reason I play solo boardgames and TTRPGs is to stay away from screens after spending the whole day at work 😅
I am still learning the basics. And it’s time to make it a bit more difficult!
I got the game when it was released for Nintendo Switch some years ago. Being able to play it anywhere, anytime, that’s amazing.
However I haven’t played yet the DLC Hearts of stone. I don’t want to finish this wonderful game.
Besides some Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, I’m mainly playing Ironsworn: Starforged. I recently got the book and I am appreciating what Shawn Tomkin did here.
I may play a bit of Spirit Island later if I have enough time to spend focusing on it.
Is there any love for solo? I like games with quick and easy set up: Agropolis, Cartographers, Voyages, Aquamarine. Sometimes Spirit Island (still learning how to play). When I have time and I am in the mood, I play solo RPG, but that’s a different subject.
UK maybe?
