Solo Traveller - Opportunity?

A solo game play oriented product or two or simply adding a section to new products featuring solo play would go along way in this regard.

I don't see this transforming the game away from its current success or historic roots, but as an additional theme that could attract additional customers.

From the early Adventures of Jon Smithe, Imperial Scout - Using ChatGPT

After reading CyborgPrime's thread about a Virtual GM, I thought I'd try ChatGPT again. Wow, this was fun. The only things it got wrong was that it wasn't Shadows like I ask and I wasn't in my Vacc Suit at one point, but ChatGPT thought I was. I also don't think it understood the Attributes of...
