Title: Lion & Dragon with one GM and one Player
Post by: The Witch-King of Tsámra on December 07, 2018, 09:07:47 AM
Is it possible and if so does it work like any other OSR game? Are there any pitfalls or hurdles to be made aware of? Also would The duet rules from Scarlet Heroes or the other duet supplement rules work for Lion & Dragon?

I don't see why not, tales of a questing knight are common, they would normally be accompanied by a squire which could be a second PC or NPC. Adjust power levels as appropriate and be aware that L&D has a much lower HP threshold than many forms of D&D.

Not familiar with duet.

A Duet style game is a One Player One GM game.

Funnily enough, I plan to run my first L&D campaign as a One-on-One or "Duet" style campaign with my uncle.

Would it be possible to play a Magister in play style?

I don't see why not, though just like in every other situation, it would not be ideal. Just because a gaming group of 1 is not ideal.

Well, sure, except that how survivable that would be depends on the type of game you run.  It might work well in some kind of 'medieval mysteries' sort of game, where there's more time spent on investigation and less time fighting.

I would suggest the Solo Heroes supplement from Sine Nomine, it's free and it has suggestions for one on one games.

Yes, if you're playing a 1 PC game, that's a useful resource.
