Someone posted in the forum here last week that the *World systems can work if you want to solo as GM; although that's not how I was originally thinking about this, it does seem to be playing that way.

I'm thinking about how to adapt Cyper System to solo play. Here is my thinking so far. we already have good and bad events, when the dice come up 1 or 20. So that can stay.

And as a solo rule ever time 1 is rolled the player gets 1 XP. I suspect this will give a higher rate of XP then normal, so I think the cost of advancements will have to be increased somewhat. I'll start with doubling it for everyting other then refusing a GM Incursion.

For yes no questions the 50/50 mark is set at dificulty 4. more likely things get lower numbers unlikely things get higher numbers.

We throu in a chaos factor which starts at +1 (this makes dificulty 4 come out trully 50/50 by default). And shift it up and down as normal. remembering that when it gets to +3 it becomes a difulty adjustment.

And that I think is all the changes I'm going to need to run a game. though I'll probably throw in a variation of lasting damage and horror mode combat as optional rules.

Hi everyone. I'm Daniel and I've just joined. I play 4 Against Darkness, solo Labyrinth Lord using Ruins of the Undercity, and solo Scarlet Heroes.

Solo RPG has been there from the beginning:

Solo RPG has been there from the beginning:

"Although it has been possible for enthusiasts to play solo games of
DUNGEONS & DRAGONS by means of “Wilderness Adventures”,
there has been no uniform method of dungeon exploring, for the campaign
referee has heretofor been required to design dungeon levels.
Through the following series of tables (and considerable dice rolling)
it is now possible to adventure alone through endless series of dungeon
mazes! After a time I am certain that there will be some sameness
to this however, and for this reason a system of exchange of sealed
envelopes for special rooms and tricks/traps is urged. These envelopes
can come from any other player and contain monsters and treasure, a
whole complex of rooms (unfolded a bit at a time), ancient artifacts,
and so forth. All the envelope should say is for what level the contents
are for and for what location, i.e. a chamber, room, 20’ wide corridor,
etc. Now break out your copy of D & D, your dice, and plenty
of graph paper and have fun !"
(Gary Gygax, The Strategic Review, 1975)
