A verdant landscape vista that looks over mountains, open grasslands, and rivers from a high vantage point. Three Mappa Mundi Chroniclers stand and observe the landscape while one, sitting, sketches the view. Two Zmei, three-headed feathered dragons.

Mappa Mundi - An Exploration + Ecology RPG book cover

Leave your sword at home.
A sharp mind and a curious spirit are the only weapons you'll need, Chronicler!


Welcome, Chronicler.

Take a seat. Your first assignment has arrived. But before we send you out into the Wilds on your first mission, a reminder of why we do what we do. We are the Mappa Mundi Institute, and the people of Evasu look to us to make sense of their world after a hundred years of chaos.

How do we do this, and what part is yours to play? With your training complete, the Wilds await. The old maps are useless, now. The old stories have been forgotten. Ours is a land that has lost its history. And your job? Your job is to write the new one.

But it is more than just people that await you beyond these walls.

Before the Flux came and cut us off from each other, this was a world teeming with life. Monsters, those majestic, enigmatic, fantastic conduits of Fate herself, roamed the Wilds, some giving blessings, others hunting; all living, all thriving. Go out into the world, Chronicler, and find them. Observe them. Document them.

Protect them.

You have sworn an oath to do no harm. These lands, and the people within them, are fragile. Your task is a dangerous one, no doubt, but to heal a place is to love it. This is your part to play.

Mappa Mundi – An Exploration + Ecology RPG will include:

  • A 200+ page core rulebook, including 100+ pages of lore, regional descriptions, and story hooks.

  • 4 Character Licences and full skill paths: will you be an Archivist, a Diviner, a Fixer, or a Guardian? How will you Specialise? What multi-Licence Endorsement will you accept?

  • 30 fantastic Monsters and 50 Creatures to encounter and engage with, including full behaviour profiles for each entry in the bestiary.

  • A 72-card fully illustrated Journey Deck to structure and visualise your time in the Wilds, including 38 landscapes, 30 Monster cards, 2 Creature cards, and 2 Opportunity cards.

  • A comprehensive Narrator’s Guide, filled with advice on how to run campaigns, sessions, and one-shots for Mappa Mundi and guidance on how to create your own Monsters and adventures.

  • PDF copies of all 10 regional maps, both blank and illustrated. Players can map their journey through Evasu, shaping the world to reflect their own experiences.

  • PDF Character and Chronicle sheets. Bring your Chronicler to life, record their experiences and development, and write your story as you experience it.

Crowdfunding backers will also receive a free PDF – Chronicles of the Wilds – that includes at least three prewritten Mappa Mundi adventures, excellent as a starting point for new Chroniclers and Narrators or for those looking to jump right into a new region.
