How do you read the names in the TSR books that are not phonetically re-spelled or clearly based on English or other real language (e. g. FR Chessenta and Chessenta's cities names but not just them) in your campaigns. It seems there is no common guidelines but want to know about the practice.
I am making a solo game for a friend (Forgotten Realms version for AD&D 2ed as a setting, the character is a human priestess of Selûne). I have had some experience in AD&D 2ed with several characters in the party as a DM, but no solo games experiences using the system. Is the creation of a usual solo game using AD&D 2ed reasonable? If yes, which aspects are different from the common 'DM + about 4 players' games?
My friend has requested the 'Age of Discovery style tales' for a solo game. It seem Forgotten Realms is good for that. We want to start at Chessenta, and may be go to the Lake of Steam and Shining Sea. I am very new to the setting, so the tips about the plot hooks, playing the ship and crew, and the good system for the solo gaming are very welcomed.
