[QUOTE="pensiv, post: 9172, member: 174"] In my opinion it can be a lot easier to run an adventure for one person . . . if you have a storytelling instinct. When running a one-on-one I feel that it is best to look at it as telling a story to one person about themself in a foreign environment/situation. First tip to new players, adjust to the world and the rules of the game before trying to adjust to a new personality. Roleplay yourself.
