Geshlar said: You should kinda expect little interest. Why would a DM want to craft a story specifically for a single player. DMing takes a lot of prep, and its not worth the risk when you are doing it for a single person who in all likeliness will either no show, or be a flake. At least when you DM for a group if a player or two drops its easier to add more. It is also pretty selfish to want a DM to make a game just for you when the Player to GM ratio is so high. Why would a DM like myself spend all that time and effort for just a single person when we could share it with 5 or 6 people. Kalman S. said: here is the thing kirby. you have every right to play the game you want to play. and there is probably someone out there or several someones who want to play that game too. but the reason you are using jarrs at me, because i think it's wrong. i can't conceive of a concept, any concept, that the experience of play wouldn't be improved by the addition of at least one more character. Even tom hanks had wilson. Character Dialogue (the ability to externalize the internal monologue) is usually important. Kalman S. said: i'm very specifically not "disagreeing with his game idea". i'm disagreeing with the argument he chose to use to defend it. i said very plainly that his game idea is just and right and i hope he gets it. i ran a solo adventure for my wife which was a wonderful game, it allowed me to give a spotlight to a player who isn't used to it. i ran a solo adventure for my friend once, which allowed me to explore a virtual reality environment in a way that purposefully confused the player, where i felt multiple players would get bored too quickly. there are tons of reasons for it. i fully support it, and i don't appreciate being publicly called out for doing something, especially when you don't have a firm grasp on the situation. what i saw happening in Kirby's response to mine, was an actual discussion of his idea. a rebuttal to the point i made. an explanation. an example of a story he might want to replicate. Useful, beautiful information that might lead to a whole discussion on the nature of games, or more likely just help us all better help him find what he wants. of course three post down from that was a load of hypocrisy, so i guess quality fluctuates.
