During the last few days I have soloed my way through a fun adventure, S.M.A.S.H. Countdown to Destruction (37 pages). This adventure is designed for S.M.A.S.H. Core Rulebook. My plan was to use this system, but I could not figure it out in a reasonable amount of time. So, I used A.C.E. #1: The Awfully Cheerful Engine! (39 pages, same place). To solo it, I created a solo engine - I changed four lines in Vigilance Absolute Power -d20 RPG.

The adventure started when the government authorities gave the PCs a mission to investigate a crime of breaking and entering. The PCs arrived on site and entered the building from the rear door. They took down two gangbangers in the first room and then two more in the hallway. Soon, they were forced into combat with eight opponents. The PCs won that battle. Next, Rose the PC found the bomb and interrogated the prisoners. Shona defused the bomb. The reluctant criminal tells them that Copycat is involved. When he is forced to give them more information he lies. The address he gives them is for Shadow the Arch Villain, not Copycat.

The PCs go to the warehouse and find an elevator. They take it down and find themselves in a barracks. The PCs take out eight more opponents. They now find themselves in a maze filled with many hallways and a few doors. They find a vault, but they can not get inside it. Soon, they are in combat with Shadow. They take him down, but Blue has taken so much shadow damage (psychic damage) that he collapses. They drag him to the next room which happens to be the living quarters of Shadow. They discover that he has two weaknesses - he has a pet (black cat) and he keeps ALL of his receipts. They look through the receipts and find one from the vet. It mentions the cat’s name. They use this name as a password and get access to Wi-Fi, the personal computer, and the vault. They call for paramedics to help Blue. They open up the vault and find an alien tech gadget. They take it with them but hide it. They don’t want it to fall into the wrong hands. The paramedics arrive and then they all leave the location. All the bad guys are locked up. Blue fully recovers after three days. I am sure this adventure will turn out differently for you.

Give this a try!
