Kingmaker Cheat Sheet

These rules extend the standard Varlyn ruleset for the Kingmaker campaign. The party explores the Stolen Lands hex by hex on a regional map - each hex is 12 miles across. The day is divided into Hexploration Activities (HAs) spent on traveling, scouting, or camp tasks.

These rules are provisional and may be revised or incorporated into the core Varlyn ruleset in the future.
