The Explorer's Ledger

Everything the book asks you to do, ready to use. Print your Inventory Ledger Sheet, then take the book's final test: a map with nothing named on it, and a decision only you can make.

Your Inventory Ledger Sheet

The book tells you to photocopy this page before each expedition. If you are reading on a Kindle, you can't. So here it is. Trade Assets, Water Rights, Caloric Surplus and Relationships, two chapters to a page. Print as many as you need.

The Unlabeled Map

No names. No guide pointing at the first limit. Just the land, three markers, and one question: where should people build? Scan the map first, choose, defend your choice in your own words, and then watch what the season does to your ledger. There is no score and no right answer. There is only what you noticed, and what it cost.
