1) Do you run a solo adventure?
Been playing in them for nearly 15 years and running them for nearly 7. Have three going at the moment: Myself as a PC in Oathbound (Have Army, Will Travel...), one with my wife as a PC (on its 6th year) and another for a friend (on its 3rd year, although this one's gone to a PBEM because I moved from Chicago to Florida).
2) If so, how do you scale it? Do you provide the character with NPC companions a lot? Is it fun?
It goes up and down. The game I play in, I created the character at 10th level, being a NE Human high Charisma Fighter with Leadership and a small army, with his cohort (NE Gray Elf Witch/Shaman/Mystic Theurge with BoVD and BoEF features added in), which is an absolute blast to play.
Of the games I run, both started as no-companion games. One (that with my wife) has grown into a mission of world-wide conquest (which reminds me, I need to update my
When the Walls come Crumbling Down thread...), and she's begun raising her own army, acquisition of followers, cohorts, command staff, etc. The other game is more akin to the Elric and Conan books: Sometimes he has companions, sometimes he's alone, although he's usually the most potent character in the batch (on occassion equalled, but never bested). He does have a side-kick akin to Short Round from
Temple of Doom (young oriental kid that he rescued from Slavers a short while ago).
3) Do you drink Tea, Coffee, both, or neither?
I used to be addicted to Mountain Dew, but I've recently kicked that habit.
(Someone pass me an Amp, will ya?)
