Topic of Discussion

Travel in RPGs

How much detail do you put into travel in your RPGs?

  • Fantasy
  • Modern
  • Sci-Fi

Are there any types of travel that you don’t like to deal with in your games?

  • “I hate water based adventures”
  • Plane flights
  • Others?

Is the journey just random encounters or planned events?  What makes a good RPG trip?

Die Roll – 2-4 miscellaneous points of gaming or geekery we want to share with you.

  3. Tabletop Simulator by John Arcadian on Gnome Stew…It has the ability to load in your own custom models and pieces, enabling a near limitless number of options for tabletop terrain. Doing something as simple as creating a custom table and loading in an image of a map, then adding models and some rocks really provides an immersive experience. http://www.gnomestew.com/gming-advice/tabletop-simulator-review/
