Lowell Francis Honestly you just leave out the Ark stuff. That’s it. Go ahead and distribute the starting points, but they won’t matter because they’ll still be first-level across the board. And make sure you can contrive a reason to be both in and out of the Ark at some point.

Out in the Zone, just randomize it. If I wanted to speed things up, I might generate like…six zones. Or use that online tool that does it. I could have saved time if all the critter/phenomenon stats were already in place.
