This week I soloed my way through NoteQuest Expanded World (DriveThruRPG), a solo fantasy hexcrawl. The random character that I got was Savvy the Lightbugster. So far, he has opened every lock he has come across. He now loves money and eating at the best restaurant in town. He became an adventurer so he could have the best things in life. On day one he entered his first dungeon. In the very first room he explored, he found five magic items. He then exited the dungeon and was hoping to get lots of cash from the items he could not use. He only got a few coins. What a rip off! For the next few days he explored outside the city. He could barely make enough money to eat. On day seven he found a ziggurat in the forest. Within a few hours he found 200 coins. Jackpot! Now he could afford an expensive meal and flirt with his favorite waitress. Life is good! –
This two dollar game is 64 pages. There are 11 races, 11 classes, 6 spells, 16 hirelings, 8 mounts, 11 pets, and rules for dungeon crawling and hexploring. The combat system is basic, but it works. The game is modular, so you can easily hack it. (I used some Talisman board game cards for some of the encounters). My favorite part of this game is making money.
Give this a try!
