So, I'm getting ready to run Rappan Athuk in a couple of weeks and I saw that I do the rolls at specific moments of the day, to see what they encounter in the wilderness areas.
My players have already made it clear that they intend to explore the wilderness a bit before heading towards the dungeon, as they've taken my warnings to heart. I also warned them that the wilderness isn't safe either, but, you know... they don't seem to care or mind.
Anyways, I was curious how people ran time in comparison to distance traveled on the wilderness map. I'd say it takes about 20-30 minutes per mile if walking for the average person. So, how many miles would it take to get from any given point A, to a given point B?
The main wilderness map (Page 13) has a scale to let you measure the distance in miles. A character with a standard 30 ft movement speed can go 3 miles in one hour, or 24 miles in one day (without pushing it). If they're going through a rough area (like forests, of which there are many around Rappan Athuk), they can travel at half speed. ^^
Awesome. Thank you for the info!
Here is a link to where other GM's for RA have shared what they have found or done. Maybe it will help with some ideas.
Type rappan athuk map in search engine and look at the images. I found a pdf map with 5mile hexes on it. I can't link it as its not a web page I think. I printed it and am using that one works great.
