"These adventures are aimed at the smallest of gaming groups, one player and one DM. Perfect for giving low-level characters more experience, these balance skills at problem-solving and combat to offer high excitement...." --from a 1989 advertisement promoting the series
One player and one Dungeon Master!
These 'solo' adventures are the perfect tool for fledgling DM's to get their feet wet running adventures; for new players who want to get a feel for the AD&D game, and want to try out the different core classes; and for experienced DM's who have but one friend or a spouse to game with at the moment.
These work either as a one-shot solo adventure, or as a solo diversion from a PC group in an ongoing campaign. This series is also a good solution for helping a new member of your gaming group catch up in levels to the other players.
Give the Player Challenge series a try. These unique adventures put your players favorite class (Fighter, Wizard, Thief or Cleric) at the center of attention, and allow them to use all of their skills and abilities in an exciting story built around their characters chosen profession.
The adventures range from level 2-6, but include rules for modifying the adventures up or down a level, as needed (players can start at 1st level in the first four adventures). They also allow for up to three players to join in.
