Leave your sword at home, Chronicler! A sharp mind and a curious spirit are the only weapons you’ll need.

Mappa Mundi - An Exploration + Ecology RPG is an award-winning (Dragonmeet 2025 Best RPG: Gold Award) tabletop roleplaying game about exploring a world recovering from a century of ecological disaster and cultural isolation, a world populated by fantastical Monsters and Creatures that roam the Wilds, a world shaped by Fate.
