Solo play?
Posted: Sun Sep 17, 2017 1:39 pm
I am new to this site and RPGs. Can any of these adventures be played solo or do you need at least two players? If so, how?
Most paper-pencil RPGs are designed to have one GM and one or more players, so "no, they aren't designed for solo play" is probably a safe answer. If you want a solo RPG module you might look into something written for Tunnels & Trolls because quite a few of those modules are written with solo play in mind. You'd have to convert a DCC RPG character into T&T, however.
Having said that, I've run adventures solo by simply not reading it in advance and discovering room contents as I encounter them. It's not very satisfying because you lose most of the role-play and plot elements, but it can be done if you are looking for a combat game.
