What Artistry This Wilderness

What Artistry This Wilderness is a wilderness travel supplement for fantasy RPGs. It’s a celebration of what makes worlds, both fantastical and our own, delightful. It’s a celebration of the sheer joy, mystery and adventure of travel. It’s a celebration of the incredible work of human beings in capturing those landscapes.

The GM uses art to evoke responses from the players. As GM, you show them the landscape that is before them and question their feelings about it. They then run a small encounter for the location that is Joyous, Atmospheric or Adventurous.

What Artistry This Wilderness is a great tool to flesh out a wilderness hexcrawl, drop into a West Marches game, or substitute for the random encounter tables in the books you already have.

Designed to fit with your existing fantasy RPG game, this is a simple system to make your encounters more varied in theme. If you're interested in taking a break from tables full of combat encounters, then try this.

 We strongly encourage you to build your own with the wonderful selection of public domain art available in the world.
