[QUOTE="Incenjucar, post: 3984807, member: 6182"] Huh. Now, mind you, I haven't had a steady D&D group since 2e, but... About 1/3 of the gaming I did was "solo." The DM is the equivalent of the WoW world, and it would be one player (with varying numbers of characters), and the DM. My fellow DM and I would switch off back and forth. As we were both DMs, we tended to get on each other's nerves quite a bit (he presented me with a tower, I knocked the tower over, etc), but I'm planning on introducing someone to 4E who has no experience with PnP, and with many more years under my belt (IE: Not a goofy teenager anymore), it should go rather well. So, yeah, Solo PVE? Easy. Heck, didn't they have solo adventures in 2E? Group PVP? Oh we had plenty of that. Once had a tiefling threaten to drop my ranger's animal companion into a chasm, and there was a good and hardy slug fest over the matter. Solo PVP? That concept doesn't even make sense. If you have a P to V at, it's group play. And, of course, playing the game without a second person, even as a world? Can you play WoW without logging in? No. Can you play adventures as your own DM? People do it all the time for test scenarios. [/QUOTE]
