well, it took me forever but I did it

It's still a fanwork, just a somewhat different kind than often gets posted, oops --

But, yeah, well onto a year on and definitely more than a year since I had the initial idea, I have a readable hand-bound copy of a Final Fantasy ttrpg hack in my hands.















As they say, it's not much but it's mine? *lol* It's been a long haul and there were a lot of moments I wasn't sure I'd finish, despite how bare-bones the rules chassis I'm using is; but I'm glad I did it anyway.

Oh wow, that looks fantastic!

...also, I don't think I realized until I looked at that map that the caravan in the northwestern continent has nowhere to actually caravan to.

Yay! :D page numbers admittedly revolted against me (my template decided to try to eat itself halfway through, whoops) but it panned out otherwise --

Maybe the caravan is servicing folks we don't visit X3 There's some way of bodies that aren't the party nosing round and about, I assume, because the faerie and such -- but it's a big continental space, there's bound to be something else there somewhere 83

It's always hard to tell how much of the world as "monster-haunted wasteland with a few points of civilization" is a gameplay conceit and how much is supposed to be actual worldbuilding. They call it out in later games (FFVIII's Lunar Cry and so on), but here, who knows.

We can't know in any concrete manner, but with an established caravan (and one specializing in fairly rare things no less, apparently *hee*) I feel fairly safe in taking the stance that the caravaneers had places to actually try to sell -- and buy -- in, at least up to the fairly recent past X3

It's a lot, I figure, like the earlier editions of (A)D&D the game cribs mercilessly from; the published material gives the hints in the skeleton and the writers expect the DM and players to flesh everything out.
