(RPG PDF Spotlight) SOLO Second Edition

SOLO Second Edition

Traveller Supplement by Zozer Games

SOLO is a second edition of Zozer Games’ best-selling (Mithril level) roleplaying supplement, expanded with additional solo tools, two new campaigns (mercenaries and salvagers) and stats for all the ships required in the game. In full colour, with artwork by Ian Stead. Compatible with the Mongoose Traveller core Book, but as before, playable out-of-the-book with ALL EARLIER editions of that game, as well as all versions of Cepheus. 
 
If your players are out of town, or you want to experience your own sci-fi setting ‘from the inside’, SOLO is the answer. This isn’t the usual collection of random word tables – instead it presents an array of game types and campaign styles that you can play solo, in the company of a complete adventuring party. Exploring new star systems? Chasing pirates in a naval destroyer? Touting for patrons on one frontier world after another? Salvaging a derelict ship inside an asteroid belt? Planning interstellar heists? Operating a free trader on the margins of profit – and legality?

SOLO allows you to pick up your favourite version of the game to run the kinds of sessions that are normally reserved for a traditional group of table-top players – led by a referee. You will be surprised, enthralled and captivated by the events unfolding around your player-characters. Can you shepherd them through adversity? Will their past catch up with them?
 
You – and YOU ALONE – will decide. 

  • Six solo minigames: travellers, star traders, scouts, mercenaries, salvagers and naval officers
  • Numerous simple to use solo tools: Ask the D6, Yes/No Questions, Inspiration tables, storylines, character reactions, and qualitative task results
  • Scene resolution, for resolving complex situations involving several player characters
  • Solo combat scene resolution, speeding play, especially when running a mercenary firefight! 
  • Guidelines to ease the process of character creation
  • Rules for inter-character drama
  • Solid advice on tying seemingly random events together
  • Fast play space combat rules
  • Checklists to speed play and help understanding
  • A unique space exploration sub-system
