Here are some places you can go!
Here’s how to do giraffe encounters.
Roll 3d6. One for creature
, one for
want/behavior
, one for complication
.
Count down that many lines in each column, skipping over any crossed out items, and note what you got.
Cross those items off the table.
Use the combination of creature
+
want/behavior
+ complicaton
to create an
imaginative encounter.
Repeat as many times as you like.
Example: I roll 1, 3, 2: a crocodile on
the hunt, but there are snakes! Roleplay out the scenario.
For my next roll, 4, 4, 3, I count down that many on the columns,
skipping what I’ve already rolled previously. I get zebra, on a
pilgrimage, wounded.
If any dice rolls “best leaves” then start to wrap up loose ends and towards a conclusion. Ideally one in which you finally get the best leaves!
