WILDERNESS SUPPLEMENT UPDATE (2)

 Those of you who backed PARIAH will be aware that I've been working VERY SLOWLY on a robust (and free) set of rules for adventures in the wilderness. I've already received a couple of nudges on itch and Kickstarter to get a move on, and I've set myself a deadline for the end of this month. But this recent post https://www.osrelfgame.com/post/a-primer-on-hex-crawling (which I think was the first time I've followed up a  Facebook post then found it on r/osr)

Let me talk you through what sort of stuff you're going to find inside:

This post was originally conceived as a follow-up to this  one:

Jones' Oracular Dungeon Generator

 So nearly one year ago now (in a time before COVID-19) I received a very special gift from Jones Smith aka Screwhead McDuff aka Mr Screw-on-head in the form of a post-Roman, pre-Saxon Britain hexcrawl generator. I'm quite some way off from putting that into action (there sits in my blog-in a draft post ten months old) but in the meantime I wish to draw your attention to this:

It's a way to create and populate dungeons that are as interesting as their maps.

(actually it's also a way to make a map)

This is the first of a number of posts I have planned where I use some other creators' tools and see what pops out of the other end. This particular methodology was inspired by Chris McDowall's spark tables.

NB. This is very much a work in progress. I go through the first 5 stages with the intention of

TAKE THE INITIATIVE [from TROIKA!]

 Wow! \I'm really doing it! I'm making a post about initiative! I mean, I re-blogged shuttered room once... https://aloneinthelabyrinth.blogspot.com/2020/01/shuttered-room-classic-six-initiative.html

Actually I have no really contribution to the discourse, just wanted to say what I like about Troika! initiative and there's a bit of chat about it's application in skirmish games and/or tactical RPGS... here's my take...

Such a beautiful cover!
You can buy it from The Melsonian Arts Council and they'll even include a free book inside it!

The memorious among you may remember that I was working on a Salute of the Jugger game a little while back and one of the most fun elements of the playtest with Tinhead Ned and Eugene was the random initiative system which I adapted from Troika.

...most fun for me at least, I don't think anyone else enjoyed themselves...

Taking Zedeck's procedure as a prompt, I've made my own series for weird spirits that might inhabit the world of PARIAH...
