Hexplore24 Day 2/366


Beneath skies of Barsoom, Hrul Marak, Haj Uljat, Khem, and Ptormed continued their expedition through the rugged landscapes that shaped this ancient realm. Each step through the rolling hills and looming mountains revealed the relentless nature of this ancient realm, where survival demanded resilience, determination, and unwavering resolve.

Around mid-day through their trek amidst the hills, the party encountered a scene of nature's relentless cycle—a swarm of thirty armae scavenging the remains of a fallen thoat. The armae remained undeterred by the party's presence, focused intently on their feast. Recognizing the balance between life and death, the party pressed onward, leaving the scavengers to their meal.

Navigating further, they discovered a sustainable campsite nestled within a shallow niche in the mountainside. The protective embrace of the niche offered respite from the day's travels. As night descended and the stars shimmered overhead, the party prepared to rest, recharge, and continue their expedition in the days to come.

As night fell upon the party, they pondered the potential mysteries, daunting challenges, and awe-inspiring wonders that beckoned them deeper into this ancient realm.

#hexplore24

The viral #dungeon23 challenge put forth by Sean McCoy https://seanmccoy.substack.com/p/dungeon23 is coming to an end as of December 31st. For myself and many others it has been apart of our daily lives, one room at a time. It’s gonna feel a little weird on the 1st when that aspect of my morning ritual goes away.  Like I’ve forgotten something, but can’t put a finger on what it was. So, I’ve decided to cobble together a few ideas for a project that will replace #dungeon23. I’m calling it #hexplore24 and I’ll give a “brief" outline of what that’ll entail.  The gist: 1) Exploration of an unknown territory. Grab your favorite hexcrawl generator!! 2) 1:1 time. One actual day = one game day. In other words, there are 366 days and you play one day per day. 3) No mindless “plot following”. There is no regular pre-scripted story. It is a sandbox game. There is no mysterious old man sending the characters on quests. No overarching plot, just an overarching environment. If this so...

  This is what a TPK looks like... Synopsis:  The party entered an unlocked room, and upon entering it a noxious vaper permeated the hallway. The gas was, of course, poisoned and not one character successfully passed the request saving throw.  Tomorrow we will check up on Team Alpha back in Emtor....and maybe roll up another group of adventurers.
