RPGaDay 2025 18: Sign
I like cycling around my area. The Netherlands has an amazing cycling network covering the entire country. These routes are specifically signposted, and there’s clear maps and guides detailing where to go. So, when I cycle, there are a pluriform of signs on my routes: road signs for cars, road signs for bicycles, marker signs for the cycling network, and hiking signposts. Each of these has a specific form dedicated for a specific audience, and varied levels of maintenance.
So, inspired by that, here’s a random table of possible signage styles:
| d10 | Sign style |
|---|---|
| 1 | A painted stone obelisk |
| 2 | A carved obelisk |
| 3 | A wooden pole with directional signs |
| 4 | A painted stone by the side of the road |
| 5 | Small cairns without markings |
| 6 | Pillars marked with hieroglyphs |
| 7 | Symbols carved into trees |
| 8 | System of notches in trees and stones |
| 9 | Magical illusions floating in the air |
| 10 | No signage at all |
Look forward to more RPGaDAY posts throughout the month!
