I have started a new solo campaign, in the open-ended style I tried about one year ago with Lady Blackbird. I think the major problem I had that time was that I had too many characters in my party (the standard Lady Blackbird set-up). I will now try a lonesome hero, in the style of Jack Vance's Planet of Adventure. To avoid Vance's unbearable male chauvinism, I am playing a female character: Eve Reith of Tschai!

Carsten Rossner Thank you, Carsten! Most of the paper minis are from Paper Friends.

The aliens are taken from the great Space Gamer Tschai module mentioned in the post.
Chris Stieha Thank you, Chris! I think games like this are more "solo story telling" then "solo roleplaying". I am also sure that Bivius and Miso can give similar results (and I feel that this Tschai experiment is close to what Carsten is doing with Star Wars and Miso). Possibly, the main difference is the use of "Norwegian Style" fate cards and resolution cards: they are really great, worth trying with any system you like :)
ReplyDeleteThe Solo Grail system sounds interesting. I must admit that I forgot how the Norwegian Style cards work (I have Archipelago and Love in the Times of Seid but never played it). Interesting.
ReplyDeletePS: I added the Solo Grail system to my big list of rpg resources on my blog.
