I can envisage though that an expedition rune by the gm but chosen by a player with a 'plan' of the route etc might well have some mileage.<br />If anyone has problems with all the various cards, charts etc that are needed to play the game, I'm only too willing to help - just email me (addy found on my profile link)Zabadakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05649765350412145174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776165776368681924.post-61633273259805477102018-03-08T08:12:01.670-08:002018-03-08T08:12:01.670-08:00There is treasure underground in them ruins.

It;s taking me about 3 hours to do a single mission and far more time to write them up!<br />I remember my Grandfather using a tin bath, stored on the wall in his yard!
