Hitchiker

Special:
You can learn the history of any place within 100' of a road just by focusing on it. The events of the past play back for you as visions. It takes 3 minutes of still, silent mediation to look back over a year and no limit to how far back you can go except for your endurance. After you spend 3 days in one place your visions start randomly appearing to others.

The Road

Roads siphon a little life from everything that travels over them. In time they become living entities themselves, a network of semi-dormant creature-consciousness that spans entire continents, practically a god. That emergent entity is The Road. It's been with us for as long as we've made paths to follow and only grows stronger as we build more.

All roads are part of The Road, whether it's a tiny footpath, dirt two-track, or six-lane highway. All roads that join and carry people build the pattern that is The Road. The older a road is the more powerfully it's woven into the network, a foundation that descendant roads mimic. The larger a road is the more traffic it carries and energy it gathers to feed The Road. "Arterial road" isn't just a metaphor.

On the fringes of The Road are The Trails. Indefinite sub-networks of unset ways. Desire paths, forgotten streets, areas that are off the map. They cling to The Road as parasites, drawing energy from it to sustain their own shifting paths. If you know a Trailhead or want to find one badly enough, you'll slip through.

The longer you spend on The Road the more familiar it gets and the more likely it'll respond. The more often you hit The Trails the better you get at finding your way and the easier it is to get in.

Safe travels.

Travel Dice Set

I usually carry dice on me. Not because I want to be ready to play at all times, but because I like dice and it's nice to have some on hand. For my everyday carry I pick three polyhedral 7-sets and swap them out depending on what color or style appeals to me at the moment. If I'm going to a game I'll bring a bigger bag of ten or twelve sets, because why not? I won't use them all, but it's fun.

If I'm going on a trip though, I'll take the travel set.

The travel set is put together with utility in mind. It's a bag of dice I can throw in my backpack and not worry about that'll let me play pretty much any game I might run into.

It's a polyhedral 7-set, a 10d10 set, and three d6s all in Chessex Opaque Pink w/White. (I considered adding a second d20, but it's not really necessary.)

I picked that color, style, and combination of dice for a few practical reasons:

• Opaque dice are inexpensive and easy to replace, so if they get lost it's not a big deal it's just disappointing.
• The pink that Chessex uses is extremely bright, so it's easy to find any dice that fall on the floor.
• One unified, eye-searing color means it's easy to tell which ones are mine on the table.
• It's the minimum number of dice you need to conveniently play most d6, d10, d100, d20-based games so I can pack lighter.

It works great. The only way it'd be better is if I could get the same combo in 12mm mini dice to make it even more compact.
