Category: Uncharted Worlds: Discussion

Moved my earlier  #ThreatList  to a Google Doc for easier viewing and sharing.

As I start to read through the rules and wrap my head around some of the game’s concepts, I thought it would be useful to brainstorm some basic threats. This has helped me think through how threats would act and respond (if intelligent) in different situations.

This also is the beginning of a grab bag of threats I can draw upon for reference during play.

I figured I would share the few I have created so far. Hopefully this will spark some interest in others doing the same.

Feel free to leave feedback about content or formatting.
