Not really role-playing but solo minature gaming: I just started playing X-Wing miniatures casually with a friend and really like it. Only had two games so far but I enjoyed them very much. Ordered the base game and a few ships (we played with his collection). Since I love tinkering and solo gaming I came up with this very simple first draft of a solo ruleset to play against a simple AI. It is more a brainstorming document and needs testing but I had to get the concept on paper.
So please feel free to try it out (I have to wait for my game to arrive) and give me feedback. I know there are a few solo rules out there and even apps but I was looking for something more generic. A set of guidelines that is quick and dirty and can be used for all ships.
So here goes nothing...

John Fiore I don't want to rub it in your face but it is all your fault! Your blog started it all back in 2011. That got me into solo playing. And guess what: As I brainstormed the rules I re-read your HeroClix solo rules and applied the principle to play the opposing force to win (this is why you can choose the maneuver that fits best) but introduce a random element to limit control (the speed and action selection). And regarding the wallet: My wife pointed out to me that I have the entire attic full of gaming stuff, including literally hundreds of Star Wars minis from the skirmish game...I told her this was different.
ReplyDeleteGiles Dorrington Thanks for pointing that out. I already stumbled upon them during my brainstorming process and will try them out for sure.
