For the last few days, I have soloed my way through Kill or Cure: Voidheart Symphony Quickstart (40 pages available at DriveThruRPG/free). I used the Mythic-Style Hex Flower Chaos Emulator as the solo engine (same place and free/pay what you want). So, this 2d6 RPG is designed for a dungeon master and several players. The adventure is NOT easy to solo. If you have a fear of needles don’t get anywhere near this. It is a modern horror game and it contains three options for dark mysteries lurking in the heart of a clinic; and full details on the Perfected Clinic and the shadow realm that feeds on the clinic’s sickness. It does include five player characters which I did use.

The adventure starts with Brook starting a Zoom meeting with her friends. She discusses her strange dream and some of the things she has witnessed as a test subject. That evening after dinner they meet at the pub closest to the clinic. Andrew gets out his Ouija board and soon a “Ergo” is answering their questions and a crowd gathers around the table. My second nasty die roll causes everyone in the pub to go unconscious and enter the shadow dream realm. Everyone is now in a tavern with a live show (sleazy entertainment). The PCs get a bad feeling and head to the streets. After a discussion with a street urchin, they discuss how to enter the castle. The entrance that they pick out is guarded by a nurse with no face and long pointy fingernails. The next problem that they have to overcome is a hazard – a canal with fast moving something (water?). They mess that up and get moved to a chamber. Here they find a sick boy in chains. He does answer their questions. Soon after this Brook finds a healing spellbook. She memorizes it, heals the boy, and gets a Fealty mark (this is bad). It also triggers an event that sends all of the pub people and PCs back to the pub. At the end of 48 hours, the PCs got a “win”, but Brook almost became the new villain. - - Give this a try . . .if you dare!
