PD - Biography: A Solo Gaming Approach

Post by domingojs23 »

Dear Friends,

I would like to propose a new solo gaming approach, particularly in light of the upcoming PD:Traveller system. In this approach, the solo campaign is a thoroughly expanded character generation system, whereby fleshing out the character IS the adventure. At the end, you will get a more detailed character profile and background, which will be more like a biography than simply a character sheet. Instead of "after battle reports", one would generate a series of biographies, which could be used by others as NPCs.

The Mongoose Traveller character generation system includes "events" in the course of a charcaters' pre-playing career which yield connections (allies/enemies), goods or skills. Such events could be elaborated on, using the "Toltrin System" for solo adventuring (see http://toltrin.blogspot.com/2011/08/thi ... chart.html).

Cheers,

Gary
