Dawn of the Drider

Game Master Valafar The Black

My character is a level 2 Neutral Evil Drider fighter wizard multiclass

What's the appeal of a one-player campaign?

Maybe it is in the direct one on one interaction. Maybe it is in challenging each other to see who knows the rules better. Maybe it is just to see if you can connect with someone on a different level

many people find one on one games a lot of fun.

I've never been able to make it work, myself.

Do you have anything in mind for the concept of the campaign? Would you like it to be a dungeon crawl? Urban? Political?

Would this be play by post? I'd be down for that. One on one is kind of a fun gming experience so I'm down.

Yes it is play by post

Instead of the multiclass I am going to be a cross blooded daemon/undead bloodrager

Are you looking for a player or a GM

Anyone else looking for a GM

You're offering?

for some games 1 on 1 would work. I have been in them before but on another message board.

actually I thought of an interesting idea but I am unsure how it would work here as it would require a huge amount of coordination. As well as lots of GM's to work together.

I can PM info if anyone is interested in learning more.

@Edward: I'll bite the bait. PM the info ^^

@Remnant: Seconding Arkwright, are you offering?

@Emissary Yes I am offering to GM 1-1 games here or via PM or email. What sort of character

@Edward send me info too for curiosity

@Arkwright Yes

Huh, I had posted about wanting to do something like this in the Open Call thread a few days ago, and somehow only just noticed this thread today. Would it be okay to continue hijacking this thread to help with hooking up players and GMs who are interested in 1-on-1 campaigns?

My post from the Open Call thread:

I've been wanting to take a dive into the PbP format for a while now, and it occurred to me today that a duet (one player, one GM) would be a great way to keep a story moving along at a quick pace without having to worry about keeping 5+ players all on track and working out schedules and conflicts and such. Ideally what I would love is to find someone interested in a reciprocal duet: where we each GM a campaign that the other is the only PC in. (Using gestalt rules, higher level character(s) than normal, multiple PCs under the control of one player, etc, depending upon personal preference.)

Campaigns which I would feel comfortable running in this format include (but are not necessarily limited to): Rise of the Runelords, Kingmaker, Jade Regent, Skull & Shackles, Shattered Star, Wrath of the Righteous, Giantslayer. Coincidentally, these are also the APs I would be most interested in playing in. (Addendum: I would love to run or play in a mix-and-match campaign that combined elements of multiple Varisian APs into an interesting new gestalt.)

I own all of the hardcover books and about two dozen additional splatbooks, in addition to the APs listed above. If anyone is interested, I would love to discuss this in greater detail.

There's a character I REALLY want to use in a solo game. Somewhat ridiculous for use in a party, but the truth is, even powerful characters in solo games tend to be less capable than a full party because of action economy.

In return for getting to play this character, I'd be happy to GM a solo game in return. In fact, I'm doing this sort of thing right now for someone else, and it's been going smashingly well so far. What I need now is someone genuinely committed to staying on the boards and following through with the game as a serious commitment - because if you're willing to make such a commitment, then so am I.

So, uh... post here or PM me if interested? XD

Should I start out by sketching up specific character concepts I am interested in playing? Since I am open to a wide variety of campaigns and there are so many ways to balance a campaign for solo play, I figured it would be better to start with which APs I would be interested in GMing/playing in, then establish ground rules, and then figure out what character to play.

Having specific concepts and "I'd like to play this" probably would help, yes. XD Some people might prefer to just run solo APs, others enjoy creating entire custom campaigns, and knowing who wants what is probably easier all around.

I have a character that I have been wanting to play in a wrath of Righteous game for a long time. and seeing how I cannot get into a regular game. (at least one that actually lasts longer than some introductions) I think a 1-on-1 is my next try.
