Wilderness Exploration
Scenario
A Wilderness Exploration Scenario thrusts the party into the untamed reaches beyond civilization in search of new discoveries. This Scenario focuses on exploring one hex of the Overland Map at a time, searching for points of interest while mapping out their locations. Players will have to manage their time, risk, and Stamina while contending with hostile wilderness and wild crytures.
​
Rules
A Wilderness Exploration uses an Overland Map, plus the stats and tables of the biome that it takes place in. Turns are in Strategic Time and take approximately 1 hour.
Each space contains a number of Points of Interest equal to its Density. To find a new Point of Interest, the party must accumulate successes with the Exploration action. Once they accumulate a number of successes equal to the space’s Density, they locate a new Point of Interest.
After each round, a Complication is rolled.
