D&D campaign recomendation for solo/two people
I'm really tired of finding groups of people to play D&D (in person), is there any solo/two people campaign that me and I friend can play with?
Please something simple, I have a little more experience playing it but have never DM'd before, but we're both very creative, so I can think we both can still have fun
Would you consider an alternative system? D&D can work with minimal players, but I feel you'd get more mileage out a system that has two player coop/solo play baked into it.
Emberwind is a GMless system that you can try! I always recommend them because the studio developing it is very ADHD and dyslexia friendly. If you're more into combat, Kinfire Chronicles or Gloomhaven might be good too.
Even me being very anti-AI, I'm almost thinking of letting chatGPT being the dungeon master for both of us, but that would be less fun.
Please consider some of these ttrpg's! I know they're not D&D, but they're not hard to learn, and are made by people with a lot of passion :) Outside of D&D, there is a HUGE community of people creating tabletop rpg's for 1/2 players. Here's some I've bought myself:
Artefact - 1 Player - link
Ex Novo - 1-4 Players - link
MIRU - 1 Player - link
Haxen - 1 Player - link
Runecairn - 2 Players (one DM, one adventurer) - link
Against the Wind - 1 or More Players - link
Koriko: A Magical Year - 1 Player - link
Her Odyssey - 1 Player - link
Kal-Arath - 1 or More Players - link
These spark so much joy for me. I hope you see one you like and give it a try. Let me know if you have any thoughts or questions!!
The name of the game you're looking for is a "Duet Game". D&D probably isn't the best system since it assumes a 4+ person party in the action economy for combat and a wide distribution of skill options out of combat. If you do decide to go with D&D consider having your player make a gestalt character to make sure that they have enough versatility
