Table rules

West of Babel has no fixed party or assigned quest-giver. These rules keep an open, player-led campaign easy to join and enjoyable for everyone.

1. Plan the session. Players propose the next expedition. Include a destination, a goal, and a time so other players can decide whether to join.
2. End at home base. Each session begins and ends at the home base. If a session may run long, agree on a plan with the group before leaving.
3. Share what you learn. Record routes, hazards, names, useful phrases, and open questions. These notes are part of the shared campaign resource.
4. Keep the table welcoming. This is an open table. Respect everyone's time, make room for new players, and help the group stay approachable.

Before the session

Bring a character sheet and be ready to coordinate with the group. You do not need to speak another language or know the setting in advance.
