What it is about
One Spark Solo Playing Spark Roleplaying Game This rules supplement compliments the Spark Roleplaying Game, written by Jason Pitre. Spark was recently released into the public domain. Spark is a game about challenging ones beliefs and the interplay between characters and factions within the setting. This makes it a difficult game to solo play, not having other players to interact with and to challenge your beliefs. I had to abandon such mainstays as a yes-no oracle or muse tables and instead assume that the answer to everything is a yes, and... result unless it is challenged. Obsidian Obsidian is currently very popular with solo circles for recording games. As building your own setting is a valuable part of Spark, I took the plunge and have rolled my experiences of Obsidian and setting building into this book. I found the app and the game to work perfectly together. Solo rules are a great way to turn any game into a quickstart for the GM. Rather than just making characters to get a feel for the system, you can jump into the game and learn to play before presenting it to your table.
