Party of One: Rewards of the One-on-One Campaign is by Matt Click. This article doesn’t provide any new mechanics or assistance for running one-one-campaigns, instead dedicating its word count to attempting to persuade the reader of the virtues of this type of play.
The article isn’t bad, but doesn’t really grab me the same way that others which offer more concrete tools for this type of play do. For instance, Arcadia Issue 22 provides Heroic Champions: Powerful New Classes for Parties of One by Bill Doyle, a bold and creative idea to actually allow a game master to use a normal amount of monsters with a fun challenge level for encounters in a one-on-one game. I’ll write more on this particular idea, which I tried out in my session on Hurkaz the Mighty.
Although this article disappoints, it did remind me of my preferred one above. It would certainly be fun to run some published adventures that it’s more difficult to get a group together for due to time constraints as a one-on-one.
