Marauder
A downloadable MOSIAC Strict map-tool
Marauder is tool to map relationships and plot point-crawl adventures.
A Marauder map consists of Vertices, Edges and Weights. The terminology and mechanics are borrowed from mathematical graph theory.
A Vertex is a narrative focus. It can be any shape. It can be a structure, object, location, person or anything else your players might interact with.
An Edge is the connection between nodes. It can appear as a line on a Marauder map.
The position of a Vertex or an Edge on a Marauder map is not relative to their actual position. A Vertex representing a capital city can be next to a Vertex representing a village on the opposite side of the world. Use Weights to indicate things like distance.
A full-featured example Marauder map is forthcoming.

Fascinating
Thank you, Thomas! Your notes on the scenario matrix were great to read. Looking forward to seeing more.
You have no idea how much i am enjoying these releases. A lot of very useful, creative tools.
Thank you very much. I hope you find these useful.
While playtesting and developing narrative games, it became crucial for players’ security and well-being to know what they can do at any stage of the process. Creating an on-the-spot, improvised narrative isn’t always something that comes naturally. I wanted Myriad and Marauder to provide that clear framework and also favour player choice over random results.
