I actually never tried throwing one together because I thought it would be a nightmare, but it turns out it wasn't! Should be a singles doc available now.

As far as solo play goes, either of those would be fine, though I tend to lean toward single character myself. If you go that route, I tend to prefer a character that can have at least 1 follower, and you might want to roll for gang size with disadvantage so you're not getting too swarmed at level 1!

Thanks. I'm going to give it a go tonight. Maybe a Necromancer with raven minions.

When I rolled for my two initial random merchants, I got a Mystic, but I don't see that in the book. Also, the Spiderling has Boltproof, but on the ability list, it says Rangeproof. Same thing?

Oh, oops! Looks like the Mystic got lost in an editing shuffle, along with changing that ability to "rangeproof". I've fixed all that and will get new versions up later today. Good eye!

Thanks so much. I hate to bug you about stuff like that, I'm just really digging on the gameplay loop you've created here. There's a lot I'm kind of guessing on, like how Region skills work, but I'm just overthinking it probably. I looked at the World of Dungeons game you cited as an influence. Is there a mechanical reason you reduced max attributes to +1? As brutal as this game is, if I ever get a character to survive long enough, having a +2 or even +3 like in WoD would feel so good. 

Thanks again. I'm loving this game so much.

Hey, you don't have to apologize for stuff like that! It's actually super helpful to have typos and whatnot pointed out.

A character's personal attributes are capped at +1 because my experience with Powered by the Apocalypse games has been that things get a little too weighted on the full/critical success side when a character has +3 in their main stat, so I wanted there to be a bit more of an arc to a player reaching that kind of height. Element Resist is similarly a bit harder to get than most PbtA games because a flat reduction of 3 or more to all damage has a very real risk of making combat trivial. And this is a combat heavy game! 😀
