Hi Cody, a few questions about missions, if you don't mind clarifying some stuff :)

When rolling for location type, I guess the type that you roll dicates where you go in order to complete that mission. Do I have to identify an existing location on the map (that fullfills the distance requirement as well) to mark as the 'target' for the mission?

If so, what do I do if I'm trying to create a mission in the first settlement before I've even started exploring? In this situation, there are no locations on the map yet (except Settlements).

Hey!

Delivery locations are always settlements owned by factions. When rolling for a destination you can only use results for locations owned by faction listed on your map. So, if I roll for Strand Society but they aren't on my map, I just roll again until the result is valid.

I see that the digital version of the game has missing headers for the Contract table, so I'll update that today. That might be where the confusion is coming from concerning how contracts and deliveries work.

Thanks for your response! Are we both talking about missions? (You made several references to Contracts in your response, and those are a different thing right?) 

For missions, you roll for a location type. For example, you might roll 'Wastes' and then presumably your have to complete your mission by heading for a 'Wastes' location at the appropriate distance. My question was what if there are literally no location types beyond settlements currently represented on the map (i.e. you haven't left your starting settlement yet). 

Apologies if I have misunderstood something! If that's the case - don't worry about it - no doubt I'll realise where I'm going wrong

Oh yeah, I totally misread your original comment. You are correct!

Missions require at least some locations to be revealed (the more the better). If you do have locations revealed but roll an invalid location type (as in it doesn't exist on your map), you are to roll again until a valid location results. Alternatively you can place the location based on the distance given for the mission to start doing the missions right away. I typically have new players explore the map a bit doing Contracts before taking on Missions as it helps to fill-in the map.

Great - that all makes total sense, cheers Cody!
