They're Ugly, but they're Available

The first batch of Walkabout Pocketmods are now available.

They haven't been made pretty, they're just raw things that can be used as playtesting aids for anyone who might be interested in putting the game through its paces before I take it further.

The current set consist of a basic players guide, a basic GM/Oracle's guide and a trio of play booklets (one for characters/wayfarers, one for the settlements that wayfarers encounter, and one for spirits).

They can be found here

Shortly, I'll be adding a few more to this collection (a play booklet for survivors, and a booklet of flowcharts to explain the game mechanisms in a more visual manner).

There will be a few starter booklets with some wayfarers, survivors, spirits and settlements. Also a few full page scenario charts and note sheets to get a few game ideas under way.

Then I'll be adding booklets to describe the people, the edges and the dances (enough to create wayfarers and survivors for the game)...and then booklets to describe the manifestations, the affinities and the agendas (everything you need to create spirits).

Once I know everything is working well, I'll make them pretty.

A Guide to Geomorphs (Part 7)

A working computer and scanner...that means it is time to get back to work on the geomorph sequence. A lot of the discussion in this set of tutorials has been focused around square geomorphs. They're the easiest for most people to wrap their heads around.  But my preferred form of geomorph is based around the hexagon, these tend to produce more organic and interesting shapes. This is true for natural environments, but it's no less true for urban environments. The example set of geomorphs above as a simple two-phase system. One edge type is plain, the other edge type has a road piercing the centre. There could be dozens of combinations and permutations for each of the two phases around the hexagonal edges, but a quick look at the variety of buildings and road shapes shows that there could literally be hundreds of possible options when drawing these map fragments. But you certainly don't need to create hundreds of designs for the system to be effective. Usin...

A Guide to Geomorphs (Part 1)

After numerous requests to get back to map tutorials, it's time to start our new series. This time focusing on the concept of geomorphs, modular map fragments that can be mixed and matched. We'll start with a couple of theoretical tutorials before sinking into a few more practical posts. I'm predicting a dozen or so posts in this sequence, but let's see how long it lasts.
