Hell yea, I've bought so many books here that I've just read for their awesome content (Triangle Agency stands out for this), and this sits in that spot too...though I'd love to play it, haha.
I suppose 'playing solo' can be a couple things; I get what you mean (if I'm understanding right) with one character being overloaded, especially in any sort of crew environment. The other way I thought about is just playing multiple characters, which you can do with any game, and after typing this I sorta wonder why I asked!
Thanks for replying though, appreciate it. Hopefully I can grab this book sometime, just gotta let the wallet loosen a bit first.
