Another idea that came into my mind while playing F.O.R.G.E. is something that came into my desire to play with a group while playing solo.
Here's a quote from F.O.R.G.E. about the detailed tracking of companions in page 18:
" It is significantly easier to run a solo game with a single PC and a few
companions than multiple fully fledged PCs. Using basic hirelings and
mercenaries to make up the party makes tracking things even simpler still."
What i would look into is some way to being able to play an Adventurer Party without having to construct more than one PC, i don't know if this is possible, but here is my idea of what i would do in future games:
1. Ask if the Character is alone, with even odds
2. If i get a "Yes, But..." or "No, but...", The PC has one Companion, if i get a simple "Yes" my character has 2 Companions, but if instead i get a "Yes, And...", then my character has 3 companions instead.
3. If i get a "No, And" obviously the character is completely alone, and allies must be found while adventuring.
Another thing i do is to keep the amount of enemies that can attack a single target up to 3, for the sake of fairness, i don't know how YOU would manage it.
Anyway, those are my ideas :P
