You are a member of the Ecology Guild, wandering the planet of Eridoor, recording the insects, animals, plants, and oddities that you find along the way. The Guild has tasked you to explore as far as you can before the next sandstorm occurs, noting anything of interest that may help further the Guild's studies or provide immediate aid to the settlement.

You will find fauna and flora, record your findings, and make it back to the Guild with your findings before the next sandstorm.

The Ecologist is a solo module for GLIDE, self-contained within the same game world, that expands on a Guild available to players in the core rules. The tables can be used in GLIDE or any adventure game set on a desert planet where interacting with the natural world occurs.

Your time spent as an Ecologist will be performing a card crawl investigation, where your route and map will expand outward from your starting location.

What You Need to Play

  • A standard deck of playing cards (with the Wild/Joker cards)
  • A d6 to track your stat, Resourceful
  • A d6 to track Time
  • A set of polyhedral dice d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, and d20 to Survey your findings

Why GLIDE?

This is an experimental project that expands on the Guild of Ecology found in the base GLIDE rules, something I've been working on for a long while now. Players should treat this as an expansion to the core rules, and something to further your time on the planet of Eridoor.

GLIDE - The Ecologist is based on the excellent solo ruleset HARDCORE ECOLOGIST for the ECO MOFOS!! game system by David Blandy.

I love ECO MOFOS!! and HARDCORE ECOLOGIST caught me so fully engrossed that I just had to put my own spin on it. Plus, the theme and mechanics fit perfectly for GLIDE.

Enjoy!
