My latest thoughts on how to adapt Cortext Plus for solo play are about random events. Sure you could just use the Mythic GME, but Cortex already has a mechanism for injecting random events into the game, it happens when you roll 1's, so really the GME seems mostly redundant.

So here is my thinking. We add a Fortune Dice Pool which starts at 2d8+1d6 The 2d8 are variable dice , see below, but the 3rd dice is always a d6. This Pool is rolled against a stakes based on how likely you want the answer to be yes, a 50/50 question has a stakes of 12, lower stakes mean more likely and higher stakes mean less likely. 

Your question such that raising the stakes benefits the protagonist in some way, and failing to raise the stakes hurts the protagonist in some way.  

At the end of each scene evaluate weather things are going well or poorly. If things are going well then step up the lowest variable die in the fortune pool. If things are going poorly then step back the highest variable die in the fortune pool.  this will always give you a fortune pool between 2d4+d6 and 2d12+d6. 

Why the extra d6?

Because it allows us to get a 50/50 split. with only 2 dice in the pool 50/50 splits would be impossible.  I havn't tried this yet, but plan to in the next week or so, as time permits.
