Wolfkiller - A Tables For One Adventure Theme
 |
Wolfkiller is a light-weight adventure theme designed to be used with Tables For One - A Solo Gamemaster Reference (or TFO for short)¸ or you may simply run the monsters in your regular campaign. Wolfkiller is intended for use with any Old-School ruleset but can be adapted to new RPG systems. It contains theme-specific Random Tables (on the back)¸ a bestiary and optional campaign rules: Victory Conditions¸ Countdown Clock and a Final Boss. The random tables found herein are "re-skins” of some of the tables found in TFO. For example¸ Objects & Artifacts is a table found in TFO¸ but the one in Wolfkiller is themed to this setting. Feel free to mix and match as you see fit¸ but by using the tables in this volume¸ your adventure will take on the flavor of this grim world. Rules for Character Creation¸ Starting Gear¸ Combat¸ Magic and XP should still be handled with your preferred RPG system. Break a leg... or four!
A note for new soloists: Playing solo is quite different from traditional play with a DM. Wolfkiller is not a game itself; The purpose of this short volume is to provide you with themed content that will serve as the spark for your imagination. The core gameplay loop for soloing is asking Yes / No questions (TFO¸ Oracles¸ Panel 5)¸ rolling on random tables and using generative and suggestive tools (maps¸ tarot cards¸ books¸ artwork) to push the story forward. Ask a question¸ get your answer¸ use context and logic to decide its meaning and what comes next.
