Worldbuilding & Map Start
This takes about 10 minutes. You are not building a whole world, just enough to start moving.
Do These 3 Things
- Pick a map mode: hexgrid if unsure, pointcrawl if you want the fastest start.
- Name one home settlement and one nearby danger.
- Place three unknown sites: one opportunity, one threat, and one mystery.
First Objective (d6)
Roll a die or pick one.
| d6 | First objective |
|---|---|
| 1 | Scout a route to a rumored ruin before a rival group claims it. |
| 2 | Salvage one working relic component needed by your settlement. |
| 3 | Survive a local shortage by finding water, fuel, or medicine fast. |
| 4 | Deliver a message or package through territory that just became unsafe. |
| 5 | Verify whether a nearby landmark is real, false, or already occupied. |
| 6 | Recover a missing person last seen near one of your three unknown sites. |
Good Enough To Start
If you have a home base, one nearby problem, three unknown sites, and one first objective, you are ready.
