The "Sh*t To Do When Camping" Hack

Let's face it, camping down for the night can feel like doing admin. Everyone marks off their rations and water supplies, you check for encounters during the night, and skip to the dawn to begin the next adventuring day. But what if camping down was just as exciting and meaningful as deciding whether to take the path through Ghoul Gorge, or the dirt track up Murder Mountain?

Sharpen that blade! Count the loot! Apply some extra healing! Cook a dungeon stew! GO KILL SOMETHING!

The "Shit To Do When Camping" Hack is a supplement for The Black Hack 2nd Edition which provides GMs and players with a way to spice up camping in the wilderness or dungeon. Players roll or choose an activity to perform during night, each activity requires a test to be made, and can have positive or negative outcomes that help or hinder the player character.

The "Shit To Do When Camping" Hack is an optional supplement best used sparingly. The intention is not to slow down the pace of your game or create boredom through repitition, so consider using it once per session, or when it feels like the game needs a bit of texture.

Also included is a table of d6 campfire happenings if you'd like some ready-made campsite encounters.
