Odyssey Exploration Rules
🕑 Added 2025-06-26 13:00:10 +0000 UTCYou might remember that a few weeks back I talked about exploration. Since then I have run a number of games using those ideas. The rules are now fully fleshed out for use at your table.
Hopefully these rules also give you a sense of how Odyssey and 5e interact. If you look through the rules, they should work with both game systems. Since Odyssey and 5e use the same skill system, DCs and checks work the same in both.
You might also catch references to the forthcoming designs for the bard, ranger, and guardian (aka psychic warrior) classes...

Glad you asked! Literally writing up my campaign notes as an example of this format. I'll have something up next week.

Any chance of a sample region? Like for an area of overland.
