Solo/Small Group Game

Hey. Looking for a GM to run a solo or small group game for me. I'm ideally looking for a free-form or rules lite game but I'm open to systems depending on the context. I have a few rough ideas that I'm willing to improve upon assuming someone is interested.

1. A high fantasy, high magic game where players are adventurers in a fantasy world. Cliche I know but this game can be high lethality, dark, and/or very weird depending on the tastes of the GM.

2. Similar to the first idea but set in primitive times and follows stone age characters. Interested in exploring a truly untamed wilderness without the comforts of technology. A blood and stone sort of game.

3. A game following a fledgling god as they are brought into existence without directive and on a world where they are not the primary or most powerful deity. Should follow their ascension to power and the like.

4. A biopunk far future game. I'm honestly interested in hearing the GM's ideas on this but I have some of my own as well. Ultimately as long as the world itself is compelling the objective within the game is rather flexible.

Solo/Small Group Game

In reply to pnvq12 (msg # 1):

I'd run a solo/small group through a game called REIGN. It isn't rules light, but not that hard to deal with. It runs on the ORE engine and you can make a character by rolling just 11d10 and poof you're off and running.
You roll to hit and damage all at once, combats are shortish in general, as you either die, win or are injured and can't manage to continue. So if you're smart, you fight only when it is the last or only option.
I love the system and don't like the setting, so I don't use the setting. But for the purpose of a small or solo group it isn't a world-view game, but a personal one of just trying to live.

Reign has a little primer version that's easy to find and I want to say about 120 pages?
