Hinterlands Fantasy in Chaos Solo Engine
Hinterlands in Fantasy are the "civilised" areas outside of the cities. The thriving villages, ancient roads, sprawling farmlands, river routes and quiet towns. Places of travellers, livestock, merchants, farmers and the occasional war.
Chaos Solo Engine aims to act as a companion to the player(s) when playing solo. Answering questions, helping with ideas, structuring scenes, and guiding ongoing play.
The upcoming Chaos Solo Engine -Complete has an array of tables for various fantasy themes, including settings of City, Dungeon, Hinterlands, Otherworld, Sea and Wilderness.
There is also a pay-what-you-want pdf of core tables in on Drive Thru RPG as Chaos Solo Engine - Fantasy Basic.
