Default Any of the Quick Quests solo

Are any of the current Quick Quests solo? If not, are there plans to make solo Quick Quests? Thanks!

They are not. The space is pretty tight; a good solo in that format could be a challenge to design.

An extra constraint is that solos often require a "how to play this solo" intro that cuts into the available word count, further limiting the space available.

I do think it is doable, and I have been considering various ideas for a future solo quick quest, but at the moment I'm focusing on longer solo adventure.

Has anyone used the Quick Quests as starting points and then using GM Emulators like Mythic or CRGE to run GM-less?

It might be possible to do a simple Quick Quest sized "hex crawl," but there wouldn't be a lot of surprises, or room to lay out custom maps.

Yeah, you could do a Master of The Amulets style thing, or other such situation where reading the text doesn't give the player information they shouldn't have. Something at least partly random-table-based, for example.

I'm not sure it's possible, but if you try, I'll read what you create!
