    a hack of ​Alone Among the Stars b
    You are a renown cartographer​ that has been
    tasked with creating a comprehensive map of the
    entire world. To do this you have divided the
    world into 36 quadrants and will label the most
    important Landmarks.

    Tools:

    ● 2 six-sided dice
    ● Graph Paper (provided at the end of the document)
    ● Deck of Playing Cards, Jokers Removed
    ● Writing Utensils
    ● 1 Coin ​(Optional)
    ● Writing Journal ​(Optional)

    Instructions:

    Roll two six-sided dice​ and decide which die is the X axis and which is
    the Y axis. Find the correct quadrant on your sheet.

    Draw a card, ​consult the charts below, and plot out your Landmark in the
    quadrant.

    The suit​ will determine where in the quadrant the Landmark will
    be placed.

    The rank​ will determine the type of Landmark.


    Optional Rules:

    Flip a coin​:

    Heads​: The Landmark is naturally occurring

    Tails​: The Landmark is man-made

    Travel Notes:

    You may wish to write a few sentences describing the


    Landmark--how it looks, how it makes you feel, or any other
    details you think are important. You may fill these out as you
    play or after your map is complete.

    If at any point you come up with an idea more interesting or better


    than what the dice and cards give you ​go with what you desire over
    the results​.

    Ending the Game:

    When you have decided that your map is complete, or have run out of
    cards, draw a line around the landmasses to create your continents,
    connect any rivers you like, and give names to your settlements. If you
    believe your map is accurate, keep it and present it to your lord. If you
    discover you have made mistakes, destroy it.
    ♦ ​Diamonds

    By a Settlement. (eg. a small village, a large metropolis, a city, a waypoint

    for nomadic people) ​If there is no settlement nearby, create one. You

    can create as many settlements as you wish.

    ♣ ​Clubs

    Close to another Landmark. If there is no other Landmark in the quadrant,

    create one, ​or​ place it next to a Landmark in a nearby quadrant. A new

    settlement can be a Landmark and a river can be connected through other

    quadrants.

    ♥ ​Hearts

    Far away from any settlement

    ♠ ​Spades

    Near no other Landmarks. **Note this is when you first draw it. Afterwards

    you may place new landmarks near it
