Solo

Except for a couple of days with friends every month, I am a solitaire gamer.

Or solo gamer.

I miss the days when my friends and I would play games almost every weekend, mostly role-playing games like Star Trek or Top Secret.  Nowadays we do RPGs once a month.

Because of this we’re limited to sticking with a given game world or system for a few months, like D&D or Hyperlanes or some superhero-based system.  Meanwhile, other systems stay on the shelves, collecting dust.

Imagine my surprise when I went to drivethruRPG.com and discovered this:

The Cepheus Engine is another name for the classic Traveller RPG system, and this product allows one to play without a referee/game master in any of the existing versions of Traveller.

Like the one that I have at home from Mongoose Publishing.

At 150+ pages, this looks to be a good way for me to play Traveller… Solo.

We’ll see.

SW RPG REUP

So here I have a stack of blank character sheets for the D6 Star Wars Role-Playing Game (Revised, Expanded, UPdated edition), with no plans to run a campaign.

Hmph.

Maybe I’ll create a character, for old times’ sake.
