Playing Solo

The enthusiasm for solo play in this thread is infectious, but to be honest, if I can't generate at least three players, I'd rather be doing something else.

When I want to play solo, I play computer games.

I'm all in favor of solo adventuring. In fact I've always considered the Rogue to be even better suited to solo play than group play. Huge amounts of fun can be had sneaking around, and playing con games with the upper class:D A Bard would certainly also be a great choice, it gives you a lot of opportunities to use your charm and wit, that might be overlooked in group games.

You know, I'm actually a bit envious, I would love to do some solo adventuring:) But I might get to do it, although as a DM. My girlfriend is thinking about trying D&D, and she has said that she would most like to play a rogue, so I'm considering getting the "Thievery 101: Joining the Watchers" adventure by Wyvern's Claw Design, it's supposed to be pretty good, and is designed specifically for one rogue.

Anyway, good luck, and good gaming:)

I wasn't aware that multiclassing wasn't possible until 3rd edition.

Multiclassing was. Multiclassing into four character classes wasn't.

You could be a fighter/rogue/mage, or a fighter/rogue/cleric, or a fighter/cleric/mage, or etc. . . . but you couldn't be a fighter/rogue/cleric/mage until 3E. Unless you were using some variant/house rules.
 

I love solo adventures. I think the leadership feat, especially for a bard, would make it easier to run adventures. Also an easy way to develop the personality of the PC for a few levels before introducing other characters.

I've just started a campaign with one player. We're keeping it small in part because as old friends we wanted to do some gaming, and this way we can do exactly as we want. He's playing a female half-elf ranger. Since hack n' slash is not a great priority for him, this works out well. Don't have to have to figure out how to have lots of combat and still have him (I mean her) survive.

This solo playing works well in our case too because I'm in Wisconsin and he's in Colorado, so we're doing PBEM and variations thereof. It's been so long since either of us gamed, we're just happy to be playing again.
 

Another vote for solo adventures

I must also ring in with a resounding 'YES!' when it comes to solo adventures. I am currently running three campaigns, and the one-on-one campaign with my wife is the most fun.

I have been DMing one-on-one with my wife for about 9 years now and it is very fulfilling (and is a great spousal activity).
