A few days ago I soloed my way through Eulalie’s Curse : A Backwater Solitaire (38 pages, free/pay what you want at DriveThruRPG). It is an exciting solo adventure for Backwater: Southern Gothic Horror Tabletop Roleplaying . I used the Quickstart Guide & System Reference Document for Backwater
as the RPG system (54 pages, free at DriveThruRPG). I used the Zathrum Solo Engine as a way to answer questions that could come up. I did change two lines of text to get a possible “maybe” result. I did use the sample character that was included in the rules. The setting is described as a post-apocalyptic future (horror) with a tenuous social order. For this adventure, a mutant was not encountered.
So, most of the adventure took place around an old manor. What I liked most about this adventure was exploring the manor. It was definitely creepy. My seeker (ranger) PC (Adel) found three clues and had a run in with poison ivy (damage taken) and a plague (passed save). Adel was able to figure out the history of the family that had lived there. Adel had two dreams while staying in the manor. She also had to deal with the boss and that was quite a battle. Adel was able to hit it twice and her pet wolfhound damaged it twice and killed it. So, Adel and her pet survived the encounter. She was able to sell an item at the end of the adventure and received 200 coin for it (and she made it to level two). Give this RPG a try!
