Free mini-expansion for Exclusion Zone Botanist
Return to the EZ with Plant Discovery Guide 9.1b
Attention all agents
I released a new thing today!
Plant Discovery Guide 9.1b
Plant Discovery Guide 9.1b is a free mini-expansion for the Exclusion Zone Botanist solo drawing and sketching game. It doubles the number of unusual plant features, expands each prompt, and includes advice for solo journaling.
Formatted as an A5 zine PDF, this expansion includes:
24 new and revised “Unusual Features” for plants in the EZ
Expanded features that now serve as prompts for solo journaling
Permanent locations to mark on the map
Events and mechanisms that change gameplay
The expansions requires the base rules of Exclusion Zone Botanist, as well as two dice (one light and one dark).
More ways to play
I’ve been absolutely thrilled with the feedback and comments I’ve received for Exclusion Zone Botanist. Seeing others play and enjoy your game is one of the best feelings!
Here’s just a few:
"This is brilliantly done. It's super evocative and has an easy to grasp gameplay loop with just the right amount of risk/reward calculation to keep things interesting." -- carpedavid
"A beautiful game. A perfect way to blend roleplay and art. One of the best pamphlet games of the year." -- AmidaBosatsu
"An excellent blend of horror, art and pseudo science geekiness!" -- @KawakamiGregg
Some of the comments, however, mentioned wanting (A) more unusual features when rolling up new plants and (B) more emphasis on roleplaying and/or journaling.
Hopefully this expansion does both!

Return to the EZ
If you want to check out Plant Discovery Guide 9.1b, it’s available on the main Exclusion Zone Botanist page (not as a separate project). I hope you enjoy it!
I’d love to expand the EZB universe a bit, and perhaps make it easier for others to create for it as well. Follow Exeunt Press on Twitter for updates.
Lastly, go check out the new Exeunt Press Shop if you haven’t yet done so! There are stickers and t-shirts to be had. Go get ‘em.
