Travel in Wilderfeast

Hello all, tonight I wanted to cover something that I’m working on while I explore whether Wilderfeast will remain a permanent game that I run at my tabletop, particularly how I manage Travel in Wilderfeast. Travel is quite simple in Wilderfeast you present three options, Navigate, Forage for ingredients or Move on.

Each are you move through in order to reach your target, generally a creature like the Wraikat that is causing issues down Ghao Gan Gardens you would need to travel through each area between your starting point, generally your Parties base, a Den, and the creatures area.

For Asoai, the Foaming Shore where my wilder pack is starting their adventures I decided to recreate (and change some bits) of the map to suit the narrative I was forming for the party.

Each area, defined by a different set of coloured hex connects to others. The larger areas such as Hightable and Ocean stop should have more hex’s than the other areas. This enables me to visually track where the connection points are, the known paths between areas, but also to use the hex’s to track Signs, monitor communities and also track what the Pack does.

If the pack invests their downtime in building a defensible position in Hightable then I want to be able to represent that on the map. If they move from one area to another but we have to finish the journey part way through the session I want to be able to track where we left off as well as any other notes. This map is just the beginning and with my 3d printer and some magnets I think I should be able to get something that really gives life to the map.

Now the example of using this for a defined area with defined travel points like Wilderfeast isn’t the Limit as you can probably get really creative with coloured Acrylic and magnets to represent the changing in territories for a political RPG. Or you could track plot points that move, like a caravan of bad things that will take three weeks to move three hexes towards the nearest city and the party have to find them first.

What ever the situation is the map making tools in Inkarnat were fun to use for this and I am excited to see where I take this little project of mine. Hopefully in the future I can showcase it working with the other three regions also following the same process.
