Episode 95: Root & Branch (Mappa Mundi Actual Play)
The Asians Represent crew tried playing Mappa Mundi, a TTRPG driven by exploration and ecology that takes place on the continent of Evasu, one part of the world of Ecumene. Ecumene is slowly being unmade by Fate, and players take on the role of Chroniclers who set out from hearth and home to travel the wilds and tell the story of this realm in flux. Emphasising non-violent gameplay, Mappa Mundi tasks Chroniclers with working alongside the peoples, monsters, and creatures of Ecumene as a small but vital part of a wide ecosystem, with the power, skill, and knowledge to save that ecosystem from collapse.Step beyond the comforts of home and explore a land that needs you. Research your targets as you explore cities and settlements across ten regions; create maps as you journey through the wilds; encounter monsters, creatures, and cultures isolated for one hundred years.//LEARN MOREhttps://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/477684/mappa-mundi-an-exploration-ecology-rpg-prerelease-guidehttps://www.threesailsstudios.com/mappamundirpg//SUPPORT Help us produce new and exclusive content!
