A downloadable playbook

The Postilion is a playbook for the fantastic Wanderhome tabletop role-playing game.

Wanderhome is a story about travel.  The roads of the Haeth guide those who walk or ride from place to place to place.  For some, their calling is the carrying of kith and kind from coaching inn to coaching inn, village to village, town to town.  Their bugs act as both steed and family, and they greet familiar faces everywhere they find themselves.

Whether riding your swift steed with the winds behind you, or sitting atop your wagon or coach as your bug plods along, you ensure things arrive where and when they need to.

The road is your home, from coaching inn to coaching inn, and your calling is travel itself. Your buggy companion carries you and yours from place to place, both beast of burden and family. You are alive. Your care is bright, forward looking, and never alone.

Update 17 May 2021: Prettied up the document; included the title in proper fonts on the playbook itself, adjusted font size and spacing to match the four-page, two-leaf format of the playbooks in the Wanderhome book. 

Update 22 May 2021: Updated and fixed the "every seasonal holiday, choose one," which was missing from the pdf version.

Update 17 June 2021: Increased variety of draft bugs to be a "this OR this" choice for each.

Update! We have added an appendix file for the Postillion and Wrangler playbooks, exploring possibilities for various domestic bugs across the Haeth.

Where O where might a Postilion stop by to have their buggy companions tended to? Or where to look at aquiring more bugs for the team?  How about a Ranch:

thank you so much andrew <3

Looking for a good choice of Boon Companion on your journey?  A buggy theme easily combines the Postilion playbook with the Wrangler:

For those Postilions who have chosen a riding snail, might I point you toward as well, the possibility of Racing Snails in Wanderhome?
