I started a 1-on-1 S&S Saga with my wife this morning. She's playing a barbarian scout (a bounty hunter) and alongside an NPC warrior, had two battles where they fought off giant geckos and another adventuring party (a lower level group that was convinced by the PC's quarry that the PC was the bad guy). If they weren't on a river barge, the fight may not have went so well, but after knocking one of the adventurers into the water, the battle quickly went her way (the dude started drowning and the adventurers split their forces to save their friend). The only roleplaying opportunities came with convincing the NPC Warrior (who had the barge) to work with my wife's character and a failed attempt to convince the other adventuring party that she wasn't the evil-doer.
We stopped playing, due to football kickoff (I had to watch my Packers beat the Eagles), but it was a fun couple hours. Her character has the spell, Remote Viewing, which helps her locate her bounties (not to mention her tracking abilities).
Anyway, I'm now looking forward to the second session of two games...
So far, it's been fun, but the spells may have to be looked at more closely as we go on.
