Finds are found on page 51. You "find" something depending on the Encounter type. If it is an Encounter with no enemy, roll on the "Humanoid and Encounters" column.
Combat encounters are just that, nothing more. This was an oversight on my end, where I didn't make it clear that you don't need to roll for a "Test Type" for the combat result. Just roll an enemy at that point.
I've re-uploaded the file as of this reply and can confirm that it is the latest version. It may take a day to three so for the update to be pushed through the print-on-demand system, so keep an eye out for the change in the "published date" field.
Courier: Repact Edition is a post-apocalyptic solo or co-op RPG built around logistics, survival, and reputation rather than pure narrative improv. You play a courier crossing a ruined wasteland, delivering vital packages between factions while managing exhaustion, scrap, cargo limits, and a living hex map that evolves as you explore. The game leans heavily into procedures-map reveals, faction trackers, contracts, travel encounters, and combat-creating a structured loop that feels almost board-game adjacent in the best way. If you like systems that clearly tell you what happens next, Courier absolutely delivers. That structure is both its strength and its limiter. Courier shines as a tactical, mechanics-forward experience where progress is earned through smart routing and risk management, but it offers less in the way of open-ended narrative prompts or freeform roleplay. It’s not a journaling game-it’s a wasteland delivery engine. For players who enjoy hex crawls, Fallout-style vibes, and crunchy solo systems that reward planning, Courier is a solid and thoughtfully designed package.

Thank you for taking the time to make a video and write a review of Courier. Your videos have really helped to expand on my own "solo" collection of games and I'm excited to have Courier as a featured game for others to see. Amazing!
i'm sorry to be such a bother, any way we could get the newly released v3 file in a much higher resolution? the new one you just put out has blurry text, low resolution 🫤
Thank you! POD is coming once all backers receive their professional prints in August/September of this year. I will send an email blast to everyone when the POD becomes available.

Great game. I have a couple of question about the exploration tables.
What does the Find encounter trigger. If I roll a d12 on each column I could up with at find encounter, fight test and an enemy. How would that work?
What happens if I roll a Combat encounter with a AGI or CHR test? How a the rewards handled?

"The game 'COURIER - Repacked: A New Wasteland Awaits' from Amazon was released on February 25. Has this edition been updated to version 3?"

Thank you!
I'm really sorry to bother you again, but the published date field still says February 25: https://www.amazon.com/COURIER-Repacked-new-wasteland-awaits/dp/1738345955
That may not update. I can assure you that the newest version is the one that will be provided via print-on-demand.

hey! Sorry for asking but are you planning to have more community copies? Hoping to get one for a friend!
I'll update the total now for you.
thank you!!
Thanks, it's game perfect for solo:)
Not sure whether it is just me, but the high resolution PDF files for v3 appear to only have a blank cover page (ie, the cover image is missing).
Oh, yeah. I'll get that fixed ASAP.
*Now fixed. Sorry about that.
i'm sorry to be such a bother, any way we could get the newly released v3 file in a much higher resolution? the new one you just put out has blurry text, low resolution 🫤
Check the "high resolution digital" ZIP for better quality. I'll repackage the other lower resolution files for mobile users.
🙏🏻🖤
Are there somehow other languages available? :)
A French and Polish translation are in progress. No ETA on them at this time.
Is there a character sheet for the Repacked edition?
Check the "Courier - Repacked (Character Sheets)" file in the 'Demo' section of the page.
Congrats and Well done on the new edition. Just bought the upgrade coupon and love the new layout. Will take a closer look later!
Thanks, Melv! I hope that you enjoy the new system.
Congrats on the new version! Quick question - will this be making its way to drivethrurpg for pod?
Thank you! POD is coming once all backers receive their professional prints in August/September of this year. I will send an email blast to everyone when the POD becomes available.
Perfect, thanks! Almost added it on to my pledge, but had a flurry of game purchases this month and decided I had to draw the line ;)
I know that feeling. My pile of reading/to-play is getting too high!
