INTRODUCTION: I am the author of the Forbidden Lands solo

ruleset which appears in the official Book of Beasts expansion. This
document is effectively a “Director’s Cut”, gathering up the topics
that didn’t make it into the final version of the official solo ruleset
due to space constraints. No content from the official ruleset is
duplicated here – in other words, this document is not standalone
and requires the solo chapter from the Book of Beasts.

 INTRODUCTION
When Free League contracted me to write the
official solo rules for Forbidden Lands, I was
limited with how much I could add due to page
constraint limits, as these things go.

When setting out to write the official rules, I

first added an outline containing all the sec-
tions I would ideally add, and then stripped
back the non-essential sections in order to
achieve a good, solid ruleset.

But I didn’t want to just ignore that cut con-

tent, and so the result is what you have here -
the “Director’s Cut” of the solo rules, if you
will allow the conceit.

THE BETA VERSION

This document is, however, not complete! I
have written this extra content, but not play-
tested it yet. I will be starting a solo actual play
campaign on my YouTube channel in the
summer of 2023 using the official solo rules
plus this expansion.

I also plan to fill blank space with artwork.

If you get the chance to playtest these rules

before they are complete, get in touch with me
on my Discord server (link below) or via email
(link) and I will add your name on the final ver-
sion of this expansion as a playtester.

❖ Rank 2: When you MANIPULATE an
NPC to make him believe what you are
saying, spend a WP to reduce the number of
successes required on the solo Social Inter-
action table (BoB p177) by 1. If it is reduced
to zero, you automatically succeed.
❖ Rank 3: When you successfully MANIPU-

These will be tweaked in future revisions.

 EXPANDED ANIMAL
COMPANIONS
Animals can be excellent companions to a solo
adventurer. The simplest way to handle them is
to use the guidelines in the BoB Solo chapter.
However, additional rules are provided below
for those who want a bit more. These have been
designed to compliment the Path of the Beast
talent.
EXPANDED STATS
Animal companions have the following addi-
tional stats to those found in the GMG pages
126-127:
❖ WITS (used in Fear tests): 1 for very small
animals, 2 for medium-sized animals, and 3
for large animals.
❖ Scouting is recalculated from the given
animal stats by subtracting the WITS value
above (i.e. a Dog with WITS 2 has a new
Scout skill of 3).
❖ Insight 2 (used like Performance to heal
your WITS or EMPATHY)
Animals always add the relevant Attribute score
to their skill rolls, but animal companions
cannot push a roll as they don’t have any WP.
When they take damage, their relevant attrib-
ute is reduced. When Broken, a roll on the Crit-
ical Injury tables should be made, modified
with common sense to fit the animal’s
physiology. Common sense dictates whether
certain talents or powers damage an Animal
Companion's WITS.
KEEPING WATCH
An animal companion is the perfect alarm
system in Forbidden Lands. When sleeping,
your animal companion is considered to be
KEEPING WATCH even if asleep. Use the
animal companion’s SCOUTING skill to
detect an approaching threat.
RECOVERING EMPATHY
Your animal companion can help you recover
WITS or EMPATHY by making an Intuition
roll, instead of Performance.
FEAR ATTACKS
As animal companions now have a WITS value,
they are also affected by Fear attacks.
ADVANCEMENT
Your animal companion has their own Experi-
ence prompts that can be asked every morning
alongside your own prompts.
❖ Did you travel through at least one hex that
you had not visited before?
❖ Did you help your master defeat one or more
monsters?
❖ Did you alert your master to a threat?
❖ Did you help your master recover WITS or
EMPATHY?
❖ Animal companions advance skills at the
same rate as advised in the official solo rules
(BOB p168), though the only skills they can
advance are Melee, Endurance, Move,
Scout, and Insight.

HELP
Animal companions can help on any relevant
roll by providing 1 skill die.

encounter and it is not occupied by the builder’s

table (p181) are meant to be revealed by a GM as

For solo play, it is assumed that you discover

whether a castle is empty when going inside.

As a result, only roll on this table when deciding

to enter the castle. If the castle type is large
(Fortress / Palace), consult the Yes/No Oracle
to see if the inhabitants are present in your cur-
rent location, otherwise assume they are
present when you first enter the site.

5: CREATING
SOLO SITES
The current published adventure sites (both
official and on the Workshop) are written to be
read by a GM and therefore are not easily adap-
ted to solo play without spoiling the sense of
exploration and discovery that a traditional
group of players would experience.
If you wish to create adventure sites suitable for
solo play which can be sold on the Free League
Workshop, here are some guidelines to help
create these. You can find out more about the
Workshop at freeleaguepublishing.com/en/ccp.
If you need inspiration, a good place to go is
chapter 8 of the Gamemaster’s Guide or
chapter 12 of Bitter Reach where you will find
random tables to help generate all adventure
site types.
Once you are ready, divide the site up into sep-
arate sections comprising the INTRODUC-
TION, the LOCATIONS, and the DISCOV-
ERIES.
12
INTRODUCTION
Provide the hooks that a solo player might use
to hear about this site, such as rumours or a
legend. Also include a description of what the
site looks like as it is approached and a keyed
(spoiler-free) map of the area. So as not to con-
fuse the Locations and Discoveries, it is recom-
mended to use letters for the location keys.
LOCATIONS
Put each keyed location on a separate page and
provide not only a description of the location
itself, but also details of anything that is imme-
diately observable, including NPCs or enemies.
Also be sure to include the exits (and page num-
bers) to other keyed locations.
DISCOVERIES
Each location might have secrets to be found.
These should be randomly numbered in the loc-
ation section and presented at the back of the
document, much like how choose-your-adven-
ture gamebooks work. These might be clues,
traps, hidden enemies, hidden loot, etc. This
section can quickly become quite complex, so
try not to start with too many discoveries for
your adventure site. Keep the structure relat-
ively simple - you can always add more during
subsequent review and editing passes.
To make your adventure site easier to find for
solo players, it is recommended to add “(Solo
Adventure Site)” to the end of the listing’s title
once you upload it, such as “Fire Den (Solo
Adventure Site)”.
 APPENDIX:
FUTURE PLANS
Planned features for the final version of this
expansion (these are all subject to change).

ADDITIONAL ENCOUNTERS
Oracle-based, similar to TOR 2e, intended to
replace the random encounters - the 43 for the
Ravenlands found in the GMG. The idea being
that if you have already used the official
encounter and it doesn’t make sense to have it
happen again, you can then replace it with one
of these. To fit on a single sheet of paper.

RAVENLANDS RUMOURS
Draw multiple cards to have a varied result,
similar to how Legends are generated.

SOLO STRONGHOLD
MANAGEMENT
New card-based random event tables for
Unguarded and Lacking Upkeep. Also advice for
finding Hirelings in Villages .

SOLO WORKSHEETS
Full scope not yet decided, but might include:
❖ a diary,
❖ a plot thread tracker
❖ a companion sheet, etc.

EXCEL TABLES FOR FOUNDRY

Organised so that they can be easily copied into
Foundry using the EasyTable module.
