Wilder • 2017 rpg

Three to four people outline a wilderness setting (mountaintop, desert, ...); name the recurring Challenge against your return home (wildlife, weather, ...). Everyone says who they’re portraying and chooses +1 to act rashly, help others, or use wits. One player narrates the scene of how your characters became stranded in this wilderness.

Write down three obstacles (trapped, starvation, ...) against which the characters work to return to civilisation; set them out on the table. In a hat, everyone places three Tickets with narrative elements (cabin, gunfire, ...) written on them. Keep the challenge in mind.

Choose one player to be the Guide, who picks an obstacle and draws a ticket, narrating scenes to include them. Other players say what their characters do; some draw tickets to use in their descriptions.

When players try something risky or dangerous, roll a dice. 4+ is good, 3- isn’t; the guide says how.

After three tickets are used, if the obstacle hasn’t been overcome, the guide narrates it’s resolution, good or bad.

After an obstacle is resolved another player volunteers to be the new guide and picks a new obstacle. For the last obstacle, the guides says how overcoming it takes you home.
