Going to run solo - any tips on creating a sense of surprise and wonder while navigating the dungeon (as my own GM lol)

That sounds like a really cool idea!

I haven't really figured out how to run pre-written adventures solo myself, so I'm not sure how much help I can be, but I've often seen DM Yourself by Tom Scutt recommended for soloing modules.

I hope you have a lot of fun with it! :)

This is great, I picked up the print version. I have spent countless hours looking up solo stuff and for some reason this one never came up and of course is filled with exactly what I need! Thank you!!

Awesome. I’m glad I could help. If you end up soloing the adventure, I’d love to hear how it goes.

I do have dry erase flash cards, maybe setting them up as clues. Thats the only logic I ever use though, there has to be something more.

Thank you. If you decide to run it for your group I would love to hear about it 🙂

A sharp, well-forged little crucible for any party of fledgling heroes. Clean. Deadly. Just enough danger to teach them that the world doesn’t owe them survival.

Thank you. I haven't run it yet, but I'm curious to see how many of my players will die :)

Excellent!

Nice, cohesive adventure requiring a good mix of combat and creative thinking.

Thank you. I really like that the characters are more squishy. It makes me think about possible ways they could roleplay their way out of trouble instead of just barging in and killing everything.
