Inspired by medieval maps and travel chronicles, set in a fragile world teeming with life.

What is Mappa Mundi?

Mappa Mundi is a TTRPG driven by exploration and ecology, taking place on the continent of Evasu, one part of a world being unmade by Fate.

The world of Ecumene is in crisis, on the verge of a slow but inevitable mass extinction event. Players take on the role of Chroniclers, brave souls setting out from hearth and home to travel the wilds and tell the story of this world in flux.

Emphasising non-violent gameplay, Chroniclers work to document the Monsters, Creatures, and cultures of the world, securing their place in Fate’s design and thwarting the Great Unmaking.

With a particular focus on setting, Mappa Mundi positions players as a small but vital part of a wider ecosystem, and with the power, skill, and knowledge to save it from collapse.

Step beyond the comforts of home and explore a world that needs you. Research your targets as you explore cities and settlements across ten regions; map the world as you journey through the wilds; encounter monsters, creatures, and cultures isolated for one hundred years.

Write your chronicle and tell the story that saves a world.
