I liked how they introduced her, like "her mother died in an insane asylum thinking she was Queen Victoria" and my thought was, I like where I think this is going. I was not disappointed.
Don't fucking judge me, I've got tentacles for a face.
I have been considering running a game of 5e D&D as DM with my partner as the only PC. She's never played any kind of RPG before and I have played a few games but not since 3.5e. You guys seem like you have had both good and bad experiences so i'd appreciate some advice - what can I do to make the game fun and not terrible?I think that for the first session or two we'll just run semi one-shots with a consistent character but basically little story arcs that can be completed in a few hours of gameplay. If we turn out to be having fun I can start planning some settings with more substance.
Thanks guys - interesting points. What is it about one player parties that causes problems? Balancing encounters/chance of death being too high? How many PCs would you recommend? I don't plan on running any premade adventures, rather creating my own, so balancing should be a fairly flexible affair.
