As for the map, we could travel in groups or individuals, but I am not sure how that would work, same with the monsters appearing and items being found.
We are working this in much the same way as a D&D scenario type thing, right? If two or more people should decide they want to embark on a mission as a team, they will be given multiple choice questions as to what they want to do. They both have to decide which to choose. If they cannot reach an agreement, they each roll a die, the one who rolls highest gets their way.
I'm not sure about monsters appearing. Perhaps every certain number of minutes, the two could each roll a die, and if the sum of both exceeds a certain number, they end up fighting a battle. Then at the end of a battle, they roll again.
whatever their combined sum is, decides whether they aquire an item, and if so, the quality or quantity of it. For example:
Combined sum Item Quantity
6 Potion of restore health 1
7 Same thing 2
8 Potion of restore magic 1
9 Same thing 2
10 Armor, or weapon 1
11 Same thing 2
12 Use your imagination Do it again
The available items, and the corresponding sums needed to get them, would be up to the DM.
