I did have one person reach out to me so I will continue blog, watch for a new post next week. My current plan is to compare systems for what I will call procedural solo play. The big change is to concentrate mainly on one character as opposed to a large group.
I am going to pick a scenario or two and run through it with GURPS 3E, Rolemaster Standard System (RMSS), and Aftermath! I know, I know, I am a glutton for punishment and why in the world would I pick those systems? Well GURPS is likely the most reasonable choice but I am curious to see how characters in these different systems work out and how the rules adjudicate situations. I will start with GURPS 3E.
What scenario(s) will you use Jason? I'm not sure yet, I will have a better answer in the coming weeks. I will try to pick something generic enough that all the systems can handle it. My strong preference is for something other than standard high fantasy, luckily RMSS has supplements for modern games so that doesn't knock it out of the running.
I'm not sure if I will finish the Basic Fantasy RPG solo game or not, I may play through one final session and post the results and my thoughts. I do think it is an excellent gateway game and still highly recommend it but I want to make my solo play more personal and less like a game of Advanced Squad Leader. BFRPG is a group game, that isn't a bad thing but that does mean it isn't ideal for my purpose at the moment. I'm sure I will return to it in the future.
