must be multiplied by 2 or that there is
a risk to get lost (refer to the rules you

Example 2) Points of Interest
Now that you have the structure of the
1) Biomes and Links pointcrawl, populate it with Points of
Interest (PoI).
The first step of the pointcrawl is to
place the first Beach biome and Starting with the second node you
generate its type: generated, roll to determine the
number and type of PoI:
Table Roll Result
Beach biome type 5 Pebble Table Roll Result
Number 10 3 PoI
In this example, this roll will determine Type 6 Landmark
the type of all beaches. 3 Landmark
2 Landmark

Now, roll to determine what can be

Now, roll on the appropriate subtables:
found on the starting node:
Table Roll Result
Table Roll Result Landmark 6 Permanent fog
Starting node 2 Village 9 Sunk galleon
1 Buoy
Once it’s done, generate the links
leaving from it: And so on, until you have generated
Points of Interest for all the nodes.
Table Roll Result
Number 4 1 link
Direction 2 North-East
Duration 16 5 days

Then, generate the biome type of the

next node :

Table Roll Result

Beach 12 Sea

Now repeat step 3 and 4 until you have

the number of nodes you wanted.
