This is a small project I created to help me understand solo play better using the F.O.R.G.E. (Fantasy Open Roleplaying Game Engine) system and have a quick and easy sheet to reference when playing.

The sheets come in PDF format of A4 size in two pages. They should be printed two-sided. Make sure when printing you select the options “Fit to printable areas” and for best quality select 600 dpi, not 300 dpi.

‎ ‎‎

This sheet features a hex map with all the information needed to generate tiles. On the reverse side are tables to all the generation tables you will require for play with references to the pages found in the book.

Starting a Game

To begin, roll a six-sided die (d6) or choose a wilderness type:

• Plains
• Hills
• Forest
• Swamp
• Desert
• Mountain

Generating New Hex Tiles

To generate a new hex tile, will roll two six sided die, and add the result together (2d6). Use the table to determine the terrain type based on the adjacent starting tile.

For additional details, roll a d6 to determine any water, plant, or land features. The table on this sheet provides options, but you can refer to the rulebook for more variety.

Environmental & Travel Checks

Once you’ve generated a tile and its features, proceed to:

• Bottom-left section: Roll for weather
• Encounter Checks (the next table over):
  • Danger or Discovery - Roll for what it is using the tables spanning vertically down the right of the page
  • Roll risk - This requires a d6 roll—check using the table to the right of encounter checks
  • Discovery when searching - This occurs only if the party is performing a search action.

An encounter check is rolled once a day whilst travelling, once for every foraging or hex search attempt, and once per night if resting.
