Make a new rule “The Haniver” with the text
The wikipage [[The Haniver]] tracks the following information about the Haniver:
Knots is the speed that the Haniver is traveling. Represented by an integer and defaulting to 0.
The area surrounding the Haniver is represented by a 5x5 grid with the ship located in the center cell. Each cell represents one square nautical mile.
The direction that the Haniver’s bow is facing is tracked in the center square of the aforementioned grid, using the abbreviations of the compass rose and defaults to West.
I’m not sure about the size of the grid. I don’t know how far exactly one could see on deck or in the lookout position, aided or not nor do I know how fast the ship in the novel could move.
The idea is that the ship is always in the center and as it moves the objects will shift instead. Perhaps having the Narrator update it? I’m not too certain which is best.
Kevan: he/him
Anecdotal, but it always feels to me that whenever we put gamestate on its own wiki page, players engage with it less (and thus engage with the game less), as it means checking too many different pages just to see what’s happening every day.
What we’ve got here would be fine converted to a regular blog post from the Narrator, though.
