Recently, I soloed my way through a unique funnel adventure for zero level characters called Slave-Drones of the Fantas-Ti-Plex (44 pages) for Dungeon Crawl Classics. I used the Umerican Survival Guide as the resource to this RPG system. I used One Page Solo Engine as the solo engine. All four of these items are available at DriveThruRPG.
I have to admit, this is not an easy adventure to solo. There is a lot going on. In this adventure, each of my five characters (that I used from the previous adventure – Mother’s Maze) was tested by the Autocrat (not a program). Each character has four other replicants, but only one is active at a time. The facility has ten areas to explore, but there are plenty of encounters to get at least four hours of adventuring.
In this facility, the first PC (drone) casualty was because of a grenade trap that he did not see. The second one died because of a canister that ejected from a wall. Four of them died when they ran into three fixit drones. A file-bot killed the next one. At this point the quest of the adventure had changed because the new drones had been hacked (remember, they have an implant). They were now aware of the truth and wanted to get the heck out of this place. The way out was a bit of a surprise. So, actually, they could go out into the world, adventure and come back to get revenge. But at this time they wanted to get far away from here.
Try this crazy combination of DCC, Logan’s Run, and the Paranoia RPG game from the 1980’s.
