Single player CoC games to run for a new Keeper & player

[Dolingen]

Hello,

Yesterday I ran my first newbie session of CoC with paper chase, and i was able to see where there is room for improvement.

I was wondering if there were anymore single player games i could get to run for my friend as i am not confident in running for more than one or two people. 

Also my friend wanted more madness as he though it was quite tame.

Thank you

Boom. https://www.chaosium.com/does-love-forgive-pdf/

Only available in PDF right now. Print coming.

I would also say that many investigative scenarios can be adapted to one player. The Keeper has to be judicious about recognizing that fewer players means fewer breadth of skills and fewer skill roll successes in general. The classic scenario the Haunting (in Quick Start rules) could be adapted to one player. I think Mansions of Madness is a fine collection that can be adapted in this way. Especially Mr. Corbitt. https://www.chaosium.com/mansions-of-madness-vol-1-behind-closed-doors-hardcover/

I found that running the Solo scenarios, Alone Against the Dark etc, where the Keeper reads aloud the passages for the investigator is a great way to introduce the game - fun too for the Keeper as they don't know what's happening either.

Thanks all for your great advice! 

I will look into everything everyone has suggested.
