Newbie DM here and I'm...
- Thread starter chibichibi01
- Start date
There are also some solo modules out there, that I refer to as the "Challenge series" because of how each one is named: Fighter's challenge, Thief's challenge, Cleric's challenge, etc. (Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (AD&D) Modules H-I - Wayne's World of Books - Info & Sources). Intended to be played by only one character, maybe an NPC if the DM feels they need one.
Good luck!
Good luck!

Really? Your best bet is perhaps a Gestalt "hero" character that serves as your bfs avatar and the parties face... and two loyal "servant" cohort NPCs that are under the control of your BF.
A rogue and a Cloistered Cleric (Info on the Cloistered Cleric can be found here:Variant Character Classes :: d20srd.org.
Although your BF will be commanding the Rogue and C. Cleric you will be the one leveling them up and playing their personalities/buying equipment and so forth... so if he starts say, ordering them to do crazy ridiculous things you can start having them rebel, threaten to leave, whichever.... even though he's rolling all the dice for them.
He need not "order them" every step of the way, they effectively become PCs when he wants them to do something... i.e. I want Mick the Rogue to scout ahead... and he "becomes" Mick the rogue and rolls for Mick the Rogue... however when Mick the Rogue has enough XP for level 6 you are the one to choose the feats.
You'd be wise to give the Rogue kinda terrible charisma and only bump the CCs fair to Middlin.
Finally, both of these will give you a HUGE amount of plot control.... the Cloistered Cleric can make knowledge checks when you're all 'stumped' and the rogue will help you fine tune dungeon situations.

D00d, that's about $2 each- that's nothing.
And note that there are about 17 on sale for a buck each, too.

It just seems expensive because I have no money.

You guys have been incredibly helpful! I really appreciate all the advice, and I feel a lot more confident now.

there is a one on one module but its 1st edition... cant find it at the moment, Judges guild had one as well, though that one wasnt the greatest. the DMG gives rules for setting up encounters.
I would use one of the existing worlds, just use smaller areas of them, saves alot of the background of setting up your own world, once he has a few levels it might be easier... as he will have hirelings, and cohorts, and even by himself at a higher level could take on a 1st level adventure by himself (when he was 4th or 5th lv) or with a minor npc.
