On the (im)possibility of 1-player (solitaire) RPGs.
I'm thinking this because of all those RPG books we all buy, that read as really cool, but never get around to playing.
I have some vague design ideas for it for now, centering around player memory and ability to 'cheat' (there's no moderator other than yourself, after all), but there are issues - like which types of RPGing agenda's would be viable for 1-person play, and if it's att all sensible to talk about 'playing a role' when all you do is make stuff up without sharing it with anyone else (other than what's written for the game).
When there's no audience other than yourself, does it make a sound when the tree falls on you?
