So, I'm aware that WEG produced 2 adventures under the Solitaire Adventures logo and also the book Imperial Double Cross. There were also two different (very short) solitaire sections in the REUP books. My question then is are there any others out there (published or not)?
My daughters are nine and want to try the mechanics out and I'm not sure they're emotionally ready to separate the two roles of dad as GM. I have the Double Cross book (loaned to a friend, will get it back in a few weeks but was hoping to have both kids working on something at the same time). |

They also had a solitare adventure called Jedi's Honor. It doesn't show up on eBay terribly often, but it does eventually come up. There's one right now listed really high. But usually when it comes up you can get it for $10 or under.

Please be advised that the two "Solitaire Adventures" (Scoundrel's Luck and Jedi's Honor) are not actually solitaire RPG adventures, and I protest WEG's use the word "game" to describe the product. They are merely 'choose your own adventure'-style books with no dice rolling or game mechanics whatsoever. Of course if you want to give your child a chance to pretend to be a (film) character in the Star Wars universe making choices as the character, they are good for that.
The actual solitaire RPG adventures including game mechanics published by WEG are as follows:
"Escape Pod Down" (IAG)
"Cantina Breakout" (R&E)
"Regina Cayli" (AJ#1 - adapted to 2e from 1e core rule book)
"The Void Terror" (AJ#3 and The Best of the Star Wars Adventure Journal, Issues 1-4)
"Crimson Jailbreak" (AJ#5)
"Ruins of Kabus-Dabeh" (Tales of the Jedi Companion)
Imperial Double-Cross

Thanks Whill!
I was also secretly hoping that maybe some of the GMs here had tried writing something similar to the Imperial Double-Cross.  Anyone?
Also... IAG? I actually see, from reading your list, that I have all of them except for the R&E and IAG of which I am unsure. |

R&E is the main rule book Revised & Expanded, the one with the starfield and the Millenium Falcon shooting after TIEs on the cover, pg9 for Cantina Breakout
IAG is the Introductory Adventure Game - Players Booklet, pg6 for Escape Pod Down

Thanks T.C. for coming to the rescue of my over-abbreviation.

I've thought about making one (shorter than IDC), but it isn't really a priority so I doubt I'll ever do it.

Were either of those reprinted in REUP? |
