Anyone running just one player in Riddle of Steel?

I'm currently running a solo ROS game.

I think ROS is good enough to be able to handle the scope and style of single player games in a way that other games cannot.

I've run quite a few solo's (Not always out of choice, but I do prefer smaller gaming groups) using many different games, it often requires that either the player has an Uber character to cover all of the neccesary skills and abilities in the game, or that I have an army of NPC's ready to fill in for missing players...

ROS characters, on the other hand, are capable and realistic characters straight from the start...It allows for a good game without having to worry about the player missing out anywhere and that means we can concentrate on crafting an interesting and involving story.

My hat is off to Jake and the rest of the people involved in creating ROS :)

Thanks, really. I, too, think TROS is a great 1 on 1 game, as it lends itself to some really powerful SA-based stories. The stuff epics are made of, man!

Cool. Well I may be running my wife on a solo game in the future then.
