I think to address the healing issue, you need to run it more like a CRPG. Specifically, you need a healing potion bandolier with a 99 vial capacity.

With solo adventures, I sometimes provide a limited-use magic item that provides "extra lives" or some sort. (Also kinda like a CRPG.) Maybe it's an amulet that will cast Great Healing on you if you fall unconscious, but it shatters after the third use. This, then, becomes another resource to manage while providing some insurance against the vagaries of the dice.

Or you could just buy up Move and stay out of melee. It's not infallible but it's a pretty good damage mitigator.

@restlessgriffin:
Sorry for using shorthand. HC = Hardcover.

EasyGurps’ table is really amazing. I’m hoping the YouTube channel he uses creates a hex map soon.

I respect the effort and the numbers game a publisher must play, the tightrope they must walk to bring a new project to life on this platform. Thanks Doug! Let’s remember that GB isn’t SJG and be thankful that there are 3rd party companies willing to do this for the games we love.

So if doing actual solo I'd need to go with Cleric or Holy Warrior. If party or side kick used I'd include one or both.

It's the last TWO DAYS for Saethor's Bane: A Dungeon Fantasy RPG Solo Adventure!

The project funded in the first eight hours and now stands just a bit shy of the $21,000 full-color-interior stretch goal. It ends at 9:30pm Central Time, Saturday March 9.

This solo adventure is a great way to learn or teach the Dungeon Fantasy RPG. It gives you a chance to try out new professions and rules with no time pressure.

Please jump on board before time runs out!


If you are in forums where you don't see me posting that would welcome such things, I'd appreciate a shout-out or helping spread the word. We only need about 40 new backers to hit the goal, and there should be lots of folks who would be willing to try out a game by themselves that might not have a group.
