Out of curiousity how do you do this for a single player? Does he have NPCs filling in the roles of the rest of the group? Do you scale encounters down to match one person (if so, how is that done)? Very curious… You can see the problem… we are going to be slower releasing these than most groups.Īnyway, we WILL do another one, but it won’t be for a while. I am guessing that at our rate we are looking at 3-4 session (so 3-4 month) before finishing an adventure. We play once per month for about 12 hrs a shot. (Sounds like you are right about the same point that I am at with out group, or close).

The problem comes in that I would want to do these after we have completed our run through, which we haven’t yet. So… we most definitely plan on doing more, and Trial of the Beast is likely to be the next one that we do. Based on the responses we got on our forums (at ), on the Paizo boards, and now here, I think it has been really well received. This episode was a test to see how people would react to a GM only episode. I’m just to the point where we’re starting Trial of the Beast - do you plan to do a podcast on that? I ended up throwing out the trust mechanic, because it wasn’t working for a campaign with a single PC, and largely for the same reasons you touched on during the podcast. If the players are expecting two traits of their own choice, it might be effective for the GM to give the campaign trait as a ‘bonus’ I’ve actually found that one or two extra traits don’t ruin game balance too much. I’m a player in several of the Paizo APs, and what I’ve found as both player and GM is that it’s important to work with the players all together w/r/t the campaign traits. (For Ravenloft fans, he’s a re-skinned Rudolph van Richten, sans family curse.) On the other hand, if you think about Lorrimor’s profession - hunting down and researching the dark and deadly creatures that infest Ustalav - then it makes *sense* that he’d need to be rescued often. I totally agree with the need for a prequel, and we actually did a series of short vignettes. He did, actually, choose to play an Inquisitor of Pharasma (and yes, he rescued Professor Lorrimor). I really enjoyed your review and discussion! I’ve been running Carrion Crown as a one-on-one with my husband, and we’re very RP oriented, so investment in the town wasn’t as difficult as it might have otherwise been.
