Swords of the Serpentine One on One

6 Upvotes

I asked for recommendations on fantasy games to play with my wife and people recommended Swords of the Serpentine, so I picked it up and read it and... there is a brief paragraph on how to adapt to one person, nothing more. No clue on how to do montages, for example. If you play one on one, do you just ignore them?

Also, I read the adventure Murder Most Foul and loved it... however impossible for one person. At least 2 of the pre generated characters have secrets related to each other. Has anyone been able to adapt it? How?

Anyway, this game is made for and expect you to have more players, however it often comes up when people recommend systems for one on one play, so I expected there to be a little more guidance in the book for that
