This is a TTRPG about wandering merchants and couriers, focused on the journey and the low stake adventure.

It is an incomplete WIP. Many rules are missing, and it'll be uploaded soon as we playtest it.

This is the intended gameplay loop:

The Beginning

Start in the city, with a main contract and a bunch of rumors (3 rumors, one is fake; these show dangers to be avoided, and demand in nearby cities).

Choose a Wagon and load it up (different Wagons have different strengths and weaknesses)

Buy supplies, and things you hope you’ll be able to sell for a better price elsewhere.

Prepare for the journey.

The Journey

Travel through the hex map, using landmarks to find your way. Fight monsters with a light-weight TotM system, encounter wandering NPCs and face other dangers and obstacles.

Set camp, cook food, tend to your equipment. 

The weather will change, you may get lost, you may be ambushed, or may need to rest in order to heal your wounds. And eventually, you’ll reach your destination.

The Arrival

Get to your destination, complete your quests and sell your wares. Spend a week or more resting and advancing projects. Invest your newly earned riches in the friends you made along the way, rebuild long-lost infrastructure to help others and make your future journeys easier. And ultimately, prepare for your next journey.
