D20 Publishers, Does This Project Interest You?

Solo-Adventure Sourcebook.

Judging by several positive responses on the thread, people would be interested in purchasing such a product. And I imagine there would be a lot more out there who havn't looked at it, and would be enthusiastic.

Would any company be interested in putting out such a source book? Even a PDF, for that matter.

Shameless bump #1.

Seriously though; Does this interest any company out there?

Sounds cool.

Doesn't sound like anything I'd like to do but it is something I'd probably buy.

These types of things don't tend to do too well. Back in the start of d20, there was a company doing solo modules that were inexpensive until they went with RPGObjects. Good stuff but probably a little difficult to handle.

If you really want to find out if a publisher is interested you need to send proposals to various publishers describing the product(s), the target audience, and the size of the target audience.

A forum, even this one, is not going to get you answers to questions like this (at least not most of the time).

I believe the market for solo adventures is somewhat limited, keep a few things in mind. Internet newsgroups and forums aren't the best place to do "polls" for rpg-related material. The vast majority if gamers do NOT use the internet for gaming-related material or even reviews.

There is at least one d20 publisher that did put out some solo adventures, TSR actually had some a long time ago as well. If you really want to determine a market for solo products you should try to find out how those products performed in the market place.

Check. I'll certainly pose the possibility up to several companies. Of course, I wasn't suggesting I'd write it, but certainly suggest the project.

Book of "Solo" Adventures

I took it to mean he wanted a book detailing 1 on 1 adventures (1 player and 1 GM) and not the "programmed" adventures that were once VERY popular.

I think that Phil hit it on the head. This would be a sourcebook showing How to run a Solo campaign, how to setup encounters, etc etc, and possible ideas for adventures, campaign themes, character possibilities, etc.

I imagine this could be done with a beefy PDF.
