Let me know how they go for you if you use them.
Thanks
Aww no sexual innuendo this time?
What do you mean by no sexual innuendo because the entire introduction paragraph of the Solitaire PDF is a sexual innuendo?
I guess you're called "dirty" frank for a reason, eh? :D
Oh my gods, I hadn't thought about that!

:surrender You've found me out.
Actually, a lot of people think/believe that "dirty" in my nickname dirty frank has a sexual or icky origin behind it, but the truth is that in hight school I had a teacher who was a major Pearl Jam fan and my last name is Frank. During roll call he called my name and had asked if I have ever heard the song "dirty frank", which is a Pearl Jam song about a crazy truck driver. He decided to call by Dirty Frank and it stuck.
Eh, who would ever want to play D&D by themselves?

Me. I play by myself sometimes because there is less human interaction.
BTW looked up Pearl Jam, nice songs.
Ain't nothin wrong with pearl jam.

It's not a want, more like a need. New in town, no group convenient, an itch to scratch, the intro covers it. Also handy for test running dungeons. If you're still getting a TPK even after knowing everything about the dungeon and acting accordingly, it may be too tough.
And you can always do it with your husband. I do it with my wife all the time!
I suppose a little solo action might fill in the gaps though...

True, but if you need to scratch the itch, I would suggest going to you FLGS.
Nor is it always convenient even if there was one. Again, the introduction and a few paragraphs within explain a few situations where you might have those gaps (thanks, Crashy, LOL!) to fill in.
The sample dungeon room came right from the 4e DMG, but I believe the mechanics are the same as far as what you can see/respond to and for jumping over the pit. (Wracking brain trying to remember the jumping mechanics from 1e and 2e!)
What edition are you playing, if I may ask?
Anyways I am currently playing 4E and have played some DDS using 4E and it seems to take a while (both making each character and combat). I have to keep track of all of the abilities that the PCs have and also any powers or properties from magical items. I keep track of things combat by righting it on a word file on my computer and I have started using bold and italicized letters to keep track of ongoing effects and marks and curses. I have gotten some of this stuff down and everything is starting to move more smoothly. Other then that it seems to work fine.
I only play 3E and 4E, and for the most part most of the overall rules seem to be quite similar. The only rules that seem to have changed is the switching to powers and thus the changes that were needed to accommodate it. Basically what I am trying to say is the skill system is still the same, and the in combat what qualifies as cover, concealment, flanking, prone, and all that junk is the same. I can't remember 2E rules because it has been a very long time since I have read the core books.
I think that it may be a bit easier with 3E because it is only the wizard and cleric that have any special abilities that need to be remembered. Of course I will not know until I try it.
Is the question for the cool people, such as turalisj, or for everyone in general?
I can assure you, I am very far from being one of the 'cool' people. Most of the characters I play are either psions or warblades.
Yeah, it does take a bit longer than a normal game until you get used to it. After that it doesn't take as long as you start working one character while thinking about what the others are doing at the same time. I type pretty fast (never been timed, though), so the novelization that I do goes quickly enough.
Stupid Keep on the Shadowfell! I will make you interesting if it kills me!
CLERIC: Awww, these poor souls! Help me at least take their bodies out of these galling chains. One final act of dignity for the deceased.
Only the rogue rolled his eyes and walked back to shoot the breeze with the tieflings (whom the party believes are good guys thanks to failed rolls). The others nodded their assent and helped arrange the skeletons in a respectful manner with intentions to come back and take them out to give them a decent burial.
Then I saw a little further in the book while setting up for the next encounter...
Show
... that the skeletons will come alive when the stuff is placed in the circles and attack anyone trying to go through the hallway. Now unchained, these ungrateful cretins are free to roam the area and attack the party at will!
ARGH!!! Why did I decide the cleric was such a nice guy?
To find the answer that you seek, you must look deep within yourself.
Less sagely advice would be I DON'T KNOW!
Edit: What is the filesize supposed to be? I noticed that the filesize originally was 168 KB but then, Angelfire finally decided to let me download more and now the filesize is 577.xx KB. Is this closer? I am not sure this is the full file because Acrobat keeps locking up whenever I try to go past the Intro section.
