Chaos Solo Engine - Fantasy Basic
Chaos Solo Engine aims to act as a companion to the player(s) when playing solo. Answering questions, helping with ideas, structuring scenes, and guiding ongoing play.
These are two random tables for creating a basic character for your solo game. Use Descriptor and role such as a Gaunt Healer. Then add one or two details and a aim such as 'excel at a skill' and details 'prominent scars' and 'powerful foe'.
There is a pdf of these tables and the full solo emulator on Drive Thru RPG as Chaos Solo Engine - Fantasy Basic.
