Hi Guys!! (^_^)


U Good?  Sooo reading http://tinysolitarysoldiers.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/solo-rpg.html again and Spacejacker has written his own set of solo rolepalying rules !!  And I've had a try!! My character is based on the sniper Heresy gang member!!  Any way enough with chat here's the first installment!! (read the rules before you start)



! - Action

?- Question

* - Result

Character -

Aaron Lefferson is a gun for hire.  he grew up in the slums of Exoris-Prime and knows how to get what he wants, from his targets and his customers.
he had no formal education but knows basic Sirician.  he has a knack for getting into trouble...

Location -

The slums of Exoris-Prime, East Sector

Set the Scene -

Aaron stops, looks back around the corner and catches his breath...

Goal -

Aaron needs to find out who is chasing him and why...

Scene 1 -

!Aaron looks down the street behind him and try to spot his hunters!

?can he see them?

*Yes and*!he see's they're armed with basic fire arms* - (Twist (organization helps the hero) - !Two members of the local police force see the armed hunters and open fire on them!

?do they hit?

*No*

!Seeing that they're under fire the Hunters run for cover!

?do they get there before the police can fire again and Aaron can join in?

*No*

!The police fire again at the hunters and Aaron shoots too!

?Do the police hit?

*Yes But*!the bullets only graze the target!

?Does Aaron Hit?

*Yes and*!The bullet strikes a grenade that the hunter is carrying!

?Does the grenade explode?

*Yes*

?Does the Blast hit the second hunter?

*No But*!It knocks him to the floor!

!Seeing that the targets are either incapacitated or down, Aaron moves in and the Police Disappear into the run down metropolis! (They're more of a shoot first don't ask questions at all type in the slums)

!Aaron grabs the downed hunter and puts the pistol against his head "Who are you?"!

?Does the Hunter respond?

*Yes but*!Not in any detail "A gang..."!

!"WHAT GANG"!

?Does the raised voice of Aaron and the Gun against his head persuade the Hunter to elaborate?

*Yes but*!only just "The Red Snakes..."!

!Aaron pulls the trigger of his pistol and blows the hunters brains out!  (i didn't feel a roll was necessary for a point-blank head shot)


Target Met (1/2)- Hunted by the Red Snake Gang doesn't know why.





Hope you've enjoyed!!  I'll post the second installment after a while!!


Thanks,

Cool!
I love solo systems, but this all seems a little laboured.
Was it more fun to play than to read? ;)  I mean, was it really rapid?

Yeah!!  The process of playing the game is allot easier and more enjoyable than writing it yup and reading it [It doesn't help that I couldn't write well if I tried]!!  But seriously it IS great just a bit slow to read!!

Funnily enough I was blogging on this recently, and have just now (almost literally) posted my own Star Wars session.

I thought what's universal to all role-players, and unfortunately cheese doesn't fit in this instance, so it had to be Satr Wars.

Check out my blog for thoughts on solo-ing (it was me who suggested FU to the Solo Nexus crowd, and Spacejacker's one of my followers).

One thing to allay, it is soo much faster to do it in your head, just jot down a few details as you go for consistency, plus it is pretty freeform in that it can be about nearly anything (except cheese), for example I wrote a Pirates FU hack, and I was in the throes of a Three Musketeers style game I may return to (although not using my current rules).
