So, I made a set of old school cut and paste cards with Eric Nieudan’s procedural world building deck and hope to combine them with my previous aids for running one shots in the vein of John Aegard.

I want to combine them with World Architect cards and +John Lewis’s starter ad Libs.

Make a map with Perilous Wilds start-up and Voila! Instant adventure with hooks aplenty and a map to boot. I’m testing on Sunday! So I’ll keep you posted.

So this is my ‘ad lib’ prop for the first stage of +John Aegard’s one shot guide. To set the broad setting and situation before chargen. Each player gets to choose one option from the list round robin style until all are selected.

This gives me all sorts of player flagged elements that inspire ideas for locations and dangers and items that I can tie back into the Characters during chargen.

The sentence can just sit near the map as it forms on index cards, or World Architect cards. NPCs can be named and attached with sticky notes and agendas as we discover them through play.

The first scene is also so easy now😊

Just an evening’s play (one or two steps away) from achieving their goal…

Jason Lutes is your man when it comes to tables with just the right amount of detail ti ‘make maps, leave blanks’.

Here are some revised settlement encounter tables to take around the block. The Perilous Wilds tables are meant to supplement this stuff in some places, and will be folded in to the final version of FotF2e.

They don’t feel as unified as I would like, but I’ve been rolling test encounters and I’m pretty happy with the scope and depth of results made possible by these 4 page spreads.

Roll some yourself and interpret them here, if you feel inclined!
