Castle Death

While poking around for some rpg adventure ideas, I came across a series of posts about a "game" called Castle Death. The "game" is actually a very free-form method of role-playing designed for kids.

The rules struck a chord with me, not because I want to play with kids, but because I see potential as a solo system. I've been wanting to do a solo sci fi rpg campaign, but I'm stuck on the rules. A free form system, like CD, may be the ticket.

I may add a little to character creation. I've been thinking about the following components:

• Name
• Race
• Profession
• Talent (what the character is really good at)
• Equipment (weapon(s), defenses, professional gear, adventuring gear)

I'll have to set up an experiment.
