I’m starting up a new series of Solo play, for “Solo A
Module Month.” In this event, Solo gamers take a crack at playing a traditional
party-based module and playing it Solo. My attempt last year fizzled out for
me, but I’m eager to give it another go.
After quite a bit of sifting, I’ve decided to go with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Other Strangeness (TMNT) by Palladium Books.
This game is currently Out of Print, unfortunately, but I still have my copy
sitting on a shelf, and I haven’t had a chance to play it in years. The basic
system is the Palladium (or ”Megaversal”) system. Combat is essentially d20
based, while its Skills are Percentile. Nothing too radical, and its clearly an
“Old School” system.
Given that it is a somewhat quirky system, I’ll be including
quite a bit of the mechanics of the game as they come up. I’ve done a previous
series using the Palladium system, the Metal Angel series was based off of the
Heroes Unlimited game, which is, in many ways, a companion to TMNT.
