Procedures to Discover the Path Ahead + PDF

Procedures to Discover the Path Ahead allows you to build a world as you go, which gets stranger and more dangerous the further you are from home.

 

How to Use This Book:

With a pencil and a six-sided die, generate a world for an imaginary character to travel through. As you get farther from home, a counter goes up. You add this counter to your die roll so that, as you travel, the types of places you might find will change.

 

For Tabletop Roleplaying Games:

A GM can use this to create a world in advance, or the whole table can improvise a world as they go, with or without a GM. It also works great with solo games. You can play this in conjunction with other game systems or as a game on its own.

 

For Drawing a Map:

Get grid or hex paper. Start at one point and write “0” on it in pencil. This is the counter. Then roll to see what is on adjacent spaces. Draw or write them down, and then update the counter accordingly, writing it on that space in pencil. Keep filling spaces based on the counter in an adjacent space. If there is more than one to choose from, use the average or pick arbitrarily. At the end, you can erase the counters, leaving a map.

COMBINING ORDERS

WE DO NOT HOLD ITEMS

Essentially it is the same as above. We adore all of you and strive to give you the best possible customer experience possible but inventory tracking not only for us but for our vendors and partners makes this almost impossible to do now.

All items in an order containing pre-orders will ship with the pre-order item once it is in stock. If you would like the other items earlier, please place a seperate order from the one containing the pre-order. 

We cannot combine pre-orders with existing orders nor combine new orders with existing pre-orders. 

Pre-orders will be exempt from any type of general sale.
