Some pictures in this overview still point at yaktribe.games because they were not saved in the local archive.

Ash Wastes Explorators is a WIP very custom campaign ruleset that is dice roll RNG RPG heavy. Or intends to be anyway. You can create a much longer campaign, designed for mostly one player, or with a patient second player too is possible.

You create a map of the Wastes as you explore them, while scavenging for scrap and encountering enemies. It is best to use the spreadsheet provided, and simply copy and paste from the map legend as you "Scan the chosen area and it's terrain with your scavenged Prospector Auspex" and build up squares on your map.

Check out the rules & download your spreadsheet map with the pdf, give it a go.

Through these rules and rolls you explore and expand, build up your settlement and rackets while you build up your map, eventually you can keep an eye on growing enemy gang settlements of varying types through scouting, also Rumours brought to you by traders and scummers staying in your settlement. All done through dice rolls.

Its all WIP, but getting towards something cool.

I am planning a couple of longer playtests myself over the next year. Orlock, Helots, maybe Outcast scavengers as intended if there is time. So will see what I want to change or remove, possibly add.
