Every expedition starts with green capes and ends with empty saddles. The Survey Corps rides out for a reason, not just for glory, and this generator gives you that reason in one click. You get an objective, a formation, a route, the terrain it cuts through, and the titan presence the scouts will most likely meet. It also rolls the supplies, the secondary squad orders, and the grim line Erwin would write in his report if anyone made it back to write one.
Random titan hunting is a waste of horses. The Survey Corps moves with intent: map a forest, recover a fallen squad, escort a scientist to a ruin, test a new ODM gas formula in the field. This generator picks one of those intents and builds the whole mission around it. You will see the primary objective, the secondary objective the brass quietly added, the rally point, and the fallback signal flare colors for each contingency.
What each mission contains
Mission codename and date relative to the fall of Wall Maria.
Commanding officer and squad composition, including specialists.
Formation: long range scouting, wedge, column, or improvised.
Terrain stretch: open plain, dense forest, ruined village, riverbed.
Expected titan density and any abnormal sightings.
Supply load, including blades, gas, horses, and flares.
One classified order only the commander knows.
Running it at the table or on the page
For fiction, drop the mission brief at chapter start and let your characters argue about the classified order in the mess hall. For tabletop, treat each terrain stretch as a scene with its own threat budget and let players spend gas and blades like real currency. The hidden order is your trapdoor: pull it when the story stalls and watch loyalties crack.
Tone and consequences
Outputs lean toward canon Survey Corps grimness. Casualty estimates are honest, not heroic. A clean mission still loses three riders. A bad one loses everyone except the cart driver who turned back at the treeline. Reroll if you want lighter stakes, but the generator assumes the walls are real and the world outside is hungry.
