Great to see a revised edition. I'm looking forward to giving it a go. And I've just read about Riddle and Tilt — really interesting. Seems pretty elegant on paper!
a very simple and elegant travel oracle. Uses 2d4 and a waypoints/stages kind of system to propel your narrative forward. Very worthy of having in a travel toolkit, especially for solo players. Doesnt present too much information to overwhelm, but the results are evocative. Glad to have picked this up!
