## GIRAFFE ENCOUNTERS
|
|
|
|
Here's how to do giraffe encounters.
|
|
|
|
1. Roll 3d6. One for `creature`, one for `want/behavior`, one for `complication`.
|
|
|
|
2. Count down that many lines in each column, skipping over any crossed out items, and note what you got.
|
|
|
|
3. Cross those items off the table.
|
|
|
|
3. Use the combination of `creature` + `want/behavior` + `complicaton` to create an imaginative encounter.
|
|
|
|
4. Repeat as many times as you like.
|
|
|
|
***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!
