The Location
From our tone and mantra we have developed an abstract idea of the world space we are playing it. Now lets get some specifics, create one place that the players will start in. Don’t build an entire continent, just one place to start the story.
The Unkempt Wilds A wilderness of mythical creatures living in harmony cut up by dirt paths of merchants and explorers. Shifting landscapes and tall plush grasses hide the danger with in from the passerby’s. Adventuring off the trail is the only way to see its true unruly beauty.
Now that there is a place to play around in, its time to start thinking of stat blocks. In this game the environments have their own challenge rating.
- 1 would be a place like a city street or tavern. Super easy terrain.
- 2-3 would be terrain that has some small obstacles to move through.
- 4-5 is terrain that take full attention to traverse.
- 6 is near impossible terrain
Our example would fall into a 2-3 rating. It isn’t paved streets but its not overly difficult to traverse.
