Solo game (with lots of pics!!!)
« on: 27 July 2013, 11:52:20 PM »
I had another go at the BASH-rules (Basic Action Super Hero) and had a blast! My main characters Tyger and Gargoyle came off a little bit singed at the edges. Hope you enjoy the bat-rep.

Is BASH a system allowing solo play ? I made a few searching and found nothing.

I'm a owner of SuperSystem ruleset myself, but I'd like to find a solo ruleset for super heroes games.


Thank you !

BASH is actually an RPG, but very easy to convert to wargaming. Either a simple card mechanic or FUDGE dice for initiative (I use FUDGE variant myself). Supersystem is brilliant, but BASH is not as rules heavy and easy on the math. You get lot of game for the money. I recommend it.

thank you for your answer,

For what I understand, you're using your own solo mechanics, adapted to BASH ruleset, am I right ?

COuld you explain how it works, please ?


thanks !

Not quite, there are a few suggested alternative rules in the book, mainly I stick to the core one (roll 2D6 and multiply) but to make it a bit easier for Initiative, Skill Checks and Hits, I use the FUDGE Mechanic (roll 4D6 where each 1-2=-1 3-4=0 and 5-6=+1, giving a range of -4-+4 and add the multiplier). With this system a Goon have 2-3 Hits and a Hero/Villain 10, making it easier for book keeping.
I tried the card mechanic for initiative but found it too random. Hope that helps.
