My 7 Cairn / ITO House-rules

Just a fun little post.   1) Pointcrawl Procedures These are the same as from this post. Essentially, I set up a pointcrawl map with distances marked in  days , and roll a 2d6 weather roll for each day. There's also a 1-in-6 chance of a random encounter (d6 table, prepped per region/area) and a 1-in-6 chance of a "small place" (d6 table, just places the characters might stumble upon).

With the hope that next year is going to be le...
