How about an espionage game because the James Bond RPG from the 80's is hands down the best one player RPG I have ever played. You can download the books at any torrent site. Easy system as well.

Ends in gay sex. Calling it.

Can't get much more rules light than Microlite.

If this is a bit too light I suggest Savage Worlds.

Probably something like Savage Worlds, Cortex Plus, or FATE.

1 on 1 D&D games were common since the beginning. Experienced players would go on solo dungeon runs in Gygax's Greyhawk castle, sometimes playing single PCs, sometimes playing 2-3.

The only caveat here is that if you traded GM duties, you'd probably have to run two separate dungeons/campaigns, since you couldn't very well maintain consistency without spoiling all the details to each other. One idea you could do is collaborate on the barebones architecture of the dungeon - the unkeyed blueprint - and then separately add in all the details, so that each other's dungeon is similar but unique and unpredictable.

For a rules-lite system, I'd recommend microlite74 or Moldvay B/X.

OP here, what about Barbarians of Lemuria?

Good game. Very simple and compact. It doesn't rely on party dynamics, starting characters are competent and easy to scale upward if you want. There's a pretty robust hero point/luck system that prevents death by misadventure.

Also worth looking at are Barbarians of the Aftermath, a post-apocalypse/sci-fi rule set that has all kinds of knobs and dials, and Honor and Intrigue, a swashbuckling, Renaissance era book. Good dueling system and a very digestible gazetteer of the world.

Random dungeons are great for this, expecially with Co-DMing. That way, no major plot secrets need to be there (Because, said secrets would be ruined), but good old crawls ought to be fun.
Add a little fluff though, like, they enter a mega-dungeon to discover (Macguffin of choice).

You can play D&D fine with only one or two PCs. You just have to tailor the adventures to fit the capabilities and proclivities of the characters in question. With that said, if you want something a bit more rules-light, check out Barbarians of Lemuria (see pic).

Edit: while I was composing this post, I was reading down the thread and noticed you already asked about it here >>51584585, so I guess take this as an endorsement.

Do these use the same system as BoL?
