@thistimcrouch Ah. This brings back such memories of childhood - a walk to “the wreck” at low tide - with my Mum as a kid, and by myself as a morose teenager.
@gothamkid75 Hey Trey. Really glad to hear you're enjoying DM Yourself/selves.
My first reaction to your question is 6-9 characters!? What madness is this!?
I think you'll need to add an extra Sidekick (so, your PC and 2 Sidekicks), or as you suggest add 2 levels rather than one, or both...
@buttonshy The small, solo RPG A Torch in the Dark is very good indeed - some really nice game mechanics in an RPG which packs an epic game feeling into a small amount of rules/time.
@AxidentalDM@thegrinningfrog The new one is a sequel rather than a new version, and it’s *less* 5e specific ;) (or, at least, there’s advice on how to use it with a variety of other systems). Still taking late pledges on Kickstarter, it’ll be on DTRPG in a month or two.
