Looking for other games like A Quiet Year

I once used the Make Knight terrain tiles to run a sand box random campaign. They have many interesting features like castles, ruins, forest, rivers, and various terrain types. To determine the specifics I used the Solo Adventurer's Toolbox tables and question system.

There's How to Host a Dungeon which just had it's second edition come out this past January. DriveThruRPG.com

Not as story driven as Quiet Year, but it's still neat. Rolling side and checking charts to build your dungeon and populate it full of various beasties.

Avery also did a fantasy themed version of The Quiet Year with it's own deck. I think maybe it was Fey themed and it was about the encroachment of humans on the forest?

[EDIT] Found it! It's called The Deep Forest The Deep Forest - Buried Without Ceremony

I've read that! I keep thinking of doing a "forest preserve of monsters rounded up by humans that was abandoned because the humans had a war amongst themselves" kind of scenario with this game. The conquered find themselves free in a postcolonial scenario, in what amounts to a gigantic Jurassic Park (and they are the dinos)...

What do you mean by creation of a map?

Coincidentally, Shut Up & Sit Down did a review of A Quiet Year just last Wednesday: The Quiet Year – A Perfect Game for Isolation - Shut Up & Sit Down

For a worldbuilding game, you might want to try The Ground Itself .

Another interesting world-building game is Microscope. Players take turns creating elements at levels of ages, significant events, and roleplaying scenes in an event Microscope RPG » Lame Mage Productions
