GIRAFFE ENCOUNTERS

+

Here’s how to do giraffe encounters.

+
    +

  1. Roll 3d6. One for creature, one for +want/behavior, one for complication.

    2. +

  2. Count down that many lines in each column, skipping over any +crossed out items, and note what you got.

    3. +

  3. Cross those items off the table.

    4. +

  4. Use the combination of creature + +want/behavior + complicaton to create an +imaginative encounter.

    5. +

  5. Repeat as many times as you like.

    6. +
+

Example: I roll 1, 3, 2: a crocodile on +the hunt, but there are snakes! Roleplay out the scenario.
+For my next roll, 4, 4, 3, I count down that many on the columns, +skipping what I’ve already rolled previously. I get zebra, on a +pilgrimage, wounded.

+

If any dice rolls “best leaves” then start to wrap up loose ends and +towards a conclusion. Ideally one in which you finally get the best +leaves!

+
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
