I have been looking at the m74 rules and I've just about talked my wife in playing this weekend. Yay!

However, it's been almost 25 years since I ran anything vaguely Holmes-ian or OD&Dish - and much longer since I ran a real one on one. So I was looking for some help or advice on how to run a one on one for an RPG newbie.

I've taken the sample dungeon in the back of the Holmes blue book and recalculated the monsters and poison/spell saves for m74. I'm rolling up a bunch of pregen characters and going to strongly suggest some hirelings, or have "ye olde Inn" have some ruffians looking for help to go investigate the old tower, but the PC quickly becomes the leader...

Suggestions?
