I'm going to be running a campaign where the only player is a generic Conan-type barbarian. I was going to have him storming a snake temple and fighting in an arena and all that jazz, but I wanted to ask for some outside input to spice things up a little.

The snake temple is the tip of the iceberg. In reality the snake cult is in league with the covert serpent men of valusia, who use a crystal found under the depths of Khem. Staring into it provokes things from another dimension, that which cannot exist in direct light. It holds all knowledge, and demands monstrous sacrifices for the revelation of such. And it is not alone, nor is its crystal, nor its cults.

What tech level are we talking for him?

Standard Sword and Sandal with bronze and iron. I'm new to GMing and he's new to DnD entirely so I felt it would be better to go simple.

Ooh, that's good. I'll have to save that in case this campaign keeps going.

Conan type stuff is Sword and Sorcerery. Sword and Sandal is biblical epics and Greco/Roman Antiquity.

>Fighting Arena

Never play a Fighting Tournament straight

Someone needs to be cheating

The prize needs to be fucked

People who seems guaranteed to win need to get fucked

The fighting conditions need to be fucked

the food needs to be fucked, maybe poisoned

Something else needs to be going on and the fighting tournament just needs to be the setting and not the game

See Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door

The Glitz Pit has all of that stuff and is a great template for a one player thing.

>the only player
Do people really do that?
Sounds weird.

>>50006736
Use Mythras.

It can actually be really nice; some of my best work DMing was with individual players.
