Dolmenwood: Travel Times by Road

Illustration by Alan Lee. (Forgive the hobbitses.)

As part of my work on the Dolmenwood Campaign Book, I've been considering road travel between the various settlements on the map. Of course, there are standard rules for overland travel, but for common routes like these it seems like it'd be useful to provide pre-calculated journey times. So I've just spent a while figuring them all out.

Travel by Road in Dolmenwood
The basics are:

• A party on foot can travel along a road through two hexes in 8 hours.
• A mounted party can travel along a major road through three hexes in 8 hours and along a minor road through two hexes in 8 hours.
• Major roads on the campaign map: King's Highway, Horseye Road, Swinney Road, Fort Road.
• All other roads on the map are minor roads.

(See Wormskin issue 5 for more details on the travel procedure.)

Travel Times
Notes:

1. Times by road only. Ferry travel times have not yet been calculated.
2. I've added some wayside inns to the map, where appropriate.
