Mappa Mundi: An Exploration + Ecology RPG

Mappa Mundi - An Exploration + Ecology RPG is new TTRPG system that provides players a world to explore and the tools they need to do so. Taking on the role of Chroniclers — everyday people trained by the Mappa Mundi Institute — players set out to reconnect a world recovering from a century of ecological catastrophe.

Using a zero-combat system, Mappa Mundi asks players one simple question: How do you save a world without doing any harm?

With rules-light, narrative-first gameplay that prioritises collaborative storytelling, gives creative control over to players to shape the world they want to see, and that recognises the agency of non-human persons and the environment, Mappa Mundi is a love letter to worldbuilding.

Choose from four Character Licences — Archivist, Diviner, Fixer, and Guardian — and forge your path through the ten regions of Evasu, each inspired by real-world cultures, histories, geographies, and ecosystems.

Explore lost and forgotten places. Encounter each and every type of life. Reconnect a world reeling from disaster. Tell stories and save the world!
