In 2009, Nicolas Dessaux asked a simple question: if a one-line stat block is enough for a monster in a D&D module, why not for a player character? Searchers of the Unknown was born — a minimalist RPG that spawned dozens of hacks and became an OSR classic.
SotU Solo is a solo hack of that game. The idea: take that ultra-light philosophy and build a complete solo game around it. Not a clumsy adaptation of a multiplayer system — something designed from the ground up for one player.
The Rules Light version is available for free on DriveThruRPG. Here's what's in it.
