⚔️ Breachers: Cartographer Class Zine

Ink is the tether. Maps are the weapon. The Wall does not forgive the lost.

The Cartographer is a new class for use in Breachers, compatible with Shadowdark, designed for players who want to turn survival into science and the unknown into ink. This zine gives you everything you need to play a Wall-runner who makes the impossible navigable, marking paths, building camps, and scratching order into living chaos.
