Solo Play

Solo mode means one player runs Nanus without a referee.

Use the Nanus core rules for character creation, exploration, encounters, combat, and advancement.

Use the Solo pages for unanswered questions, mission structure, and one-PC combat support.

Solo Loop

  1. Choose an objective.
  2. Define the target and immediate approach.
  3. Enter the site and run normal Nanus turns.
  4. When something is unknown, ask the oracle.
  5. Resolve danger, recover value, and decide whether to push or extract.
  6. Return to safety, bank value, and update the world state.
