Can I play it alone?
Yes. Chapter 4 of the Codex replaces the GM: a d20 Oracle for yes-or-no questions, a Scene Die, tables for complications, strangers, reactions and the foe's Stance, and a Journal for what you owe and who hates you. The campaign marks which pages a solo player may read and keeps its Secrets numbered and sealed until a Session tells you to open one. Bosses written for a party are set at your own Realm when you play alone.
What dice do I need?
One d20. A spare die helps to track your foe's Momentum.
Do I need to know other RPGs?
No. The Quickstart teaches the Check in about 10 minutes, and every chapter opens with its key words defined. If you have played other tabletop RPGs, the Duel and the Debt track are the parts to read first.
What format is it, and can I print it?
PDFs with bookmarks, readable on a tablet or laptop. The Codex is a 6 x 9 in book; it prints on letter or A4 at actual size, or 2 pages per sheet. The campaign, the Quickstart and the play aids are letter size. Every play aid comes as a fillable PDF and as a print version. The maps are PNG images at print resolution.
Is it for a group or for one player?
Both. The same rules and the same campaign work at a table with a GM and a few players, or alone. The Quickstart has 4 ready-made heroes, so a table of 4 can sit down and play.
