Caravanserai

After the Collapse, and the infrastructure failures, moving from place to place is a better way to get what you need. And the only way to find out what happened.  Each day, plan a route in the morning based on where your companions want to go.

Then explore the locations, meet travellers, avoid problems, trade or take what you need. 

At the end of the day, your companions will talk about the journey, and figure out what they need to do next.
