JesterPoet said:I was thinking of running a solo adventure for my wife. So I have a few questions:
1) Do you run a solo adventure?
2) If so, how do you scale it? Do you provide the character with NPC companions a lot? Is it fun?
3) Do you drink Tea, Coffee, both, or neither?
I've run dozens of solo adventures over the years. I've run them using CoC, RuneQuest, Over the Edge, Castle Falkenstein and Ars Magica.
I set up the adventure with the character in mind, scaling everything to what the player wants. Usually I run solos as part of a wider campaign, when one player wants to explore some side of his/her character that wouldn't come up in a standard adventure. Sometimes the player is interested in combat; often it is an emotional or social issue. So "scaling" is a matter of fitting a specific adventure to a specific individual. If the character would logically have "helpers" along, so be it.
I drink coffee if nothing else is available. As for tea, I love keemun, sencha, pinhead gunpowder, and mint leaves. I love my tea and have switched my gamers over to it, as I have no coffee at my apartment, but I do have a very large teapot
