Welcome to Wandering the Ways: A Guide to the Infinite Paths of the Nevernever. This short supplement aims to hopefully enrich your experience of the Dresden Files Roleplaying Game, specifically regarding travel in the Nevernever, at least as explained in The Paranet Papers.

The Nevernever is a place of endless possibilities and countless dangers, a realm where every thought, every dream, every nightmare takes form. It's a place where every location in our world has a counterpart, and these counterparts are connected by paths known as Ways. These Ways are the focus of this supplement, and the intent here is to provide a framework with which to put together a Way step-by-step, or even randomly generate a Way entirely to give a sense of depth and variety to travel in the Nevernever, which can sometimes be dull or awkward.

The Ways aren't just simple paths from point A to point B, though. In essence, they are a living, breathing entities of the Nevernever, each with its unique characteristics and challenges. Some Ways are straightforward, while others are abstract and challenging to navigate. Some are short and safe, others are long and fraught with danger. The Ways can take any form, from a serene forest path to a treacherous mountain pass, from a tranquil underwater tunnel to a chaotic vortex of swirling energy.

In the Paranet Papers, we were introduced to the concept of the Ways and given some examples. However, I feel the true potential of the Ways wasn't fully explored, or at least made readily available. Now, the style of the Dresden Files Roleplaying Game™ product line kind of prohibits this kind of game design, but I have no such limitation! That's where this supplement comes in. Wandering the Ways provides a series of tables that allow you to pick from or generate random interesting Ways on the fly. These tables consider various aspects of the Ways, including their type, level abstractness, length, danger level, and more.

This supplement is not just a tool for Game Masters. Players can also use it to better understand the Nevernever and to plan their journeys through it. The random nature of the tables also ensures that every journey through the Ways can be a unique experience, adding an element of unpredictability that can make the game more exciting and engaging.

Wandering the Ways isn't meant to replace the information in the Paranet Papers. Instead, I've designed it to complement that information with a bit of structure to more easily add depth and detail to the idea of the Ways. By using this supplement, you can bring the Nevernever to life in your games and create a rich and immersive world for your players to explore.

Whether you're a seasoned Game Master looking for new ways to challenge your players, or a player eager to delve deeper into the mysteries of the Nevernever, I hope Wandering the Ways will be a valuable resource for your table.

Without further ado, it's time to step on through and begin this journey!
