Note: Anchor Points - Section linking WITHIN pages USE [[Help:Section#Section_linking|Section linking]] or To link to a section in the same page you can use [[#section name|displayed text]], and to link to a section in another page [[page name#section name|displayed text]].

Note: Section linking with arbitrary id USE <span id="anchor_name"></span>. Be sure to use a name that is not likely to be duplicated. One way to do this is to incorporate the titles of the higher-level sections, at least in abbreviated form, e.g., Ontario-Natural_features for the "Natural features" subsection of the "Ontario" section of an article about the provinces of Canada.

Movement

Watch Routines

We recommend the following sequence for moving characters on the Regional Map. The 24-hour day is divided into six watches, each lasting four hours. The first watch begins at midnight and ends at 4 a.m., and so on.

1. Weather Generation At the beginning of each watch, the GM generates the weather using the weather table (page 58). This is reported to the players, who record it in their journal or log.

2. Encounter Generation The type of encounters possible depends on the terrain being crossed. The GM determines if the players will have any encounters during the watch. If encounters are scheduled, the GM rolls 1d8 for each to determine in which half-hour of the watch they will occur and 1d30 if the exact minute is required. The GM tells the players of encounters only when they actually occur.

3. Movement The GM asks the players in which direction they wish to travel. Using the Movement Rates table, the GM then estimates how far the party can travel, either until the next encounter or the end of the watch, whichever comes first. He should then move the party on his map, describing as necessary the terrain crossed. Once all business arising from record-keeping, player mapping, and encounters has been dealt with, steps 1–3 are repeated for the next watch.

Movement Table

Movement rates are at GM discretion. The table is merely a guide. Rates are given in leagues per watch, which is approximately equal to Km/hour. A Hârnic League is 2.5 miles (4 Km). Five leagues equal one hex on a regional map.

The table lists movement rates for vegetation types under three topography classes. Foot means walking at a steady pace, horse means walk/trot when mounted, and cart or wagon rates assume average loads and draft animals. Generally, pack animals move at the Foot rate.

Weather Modifications

Weather conditions modify movement rates (at GM discretion). Rain falling for two or more watches will create mud on trails and unpaved roads, reducing movement by 50%. Ground cover, such as grass or gravel, prevents mud except for very heavy rain (one or more days). If there is no mud, rain reduces movement by only 10–25%.

Snow less than knee-high slows movement by 25–50%; for roads and trails, reduce only 20% if hardpack. Snow deeper than knee-high slows movement dramatically; for this and for blizzards, all movement should be at most one-quarter rate. Individuals wearing skis can move at Foot rate; snowshoes allow the user to move at 50% Foot rate.

Forced Marches

At the expense of incremental fatigue, handled at GM discretion, movement rates may be increased by up to 50% for foot or wagon traffic and 100% for horse traffic.

Sea Movement

Movement at sea depends on wind, weather, tides, type of vessel, familiarity with a waterway, etc. Under optimum conditions of wind and tide, a merchant ship might average 10 leagues (two hexes) per watch, and a warship about 15 leagues under sail and 10 leagues under oar. A detailed maritime routine can be found in the Pilots’ Almanac.

Initial Setup

Roll 1d20. Place a marker on the table for the appropriate season in the numbered box equal to the roll.

Weather Change

Weather is generated anew at the beginning of each watch. Roll 1d10 and move marker as indicated below. If marker moves off table, re-enter at other end.

Temperature

Temperatures do not take into account windchill factors. If an alternate temperature is given in brackets, such as (Freezing), it applies during night watches.

Wind

The letter code indicates the mean direction from which the wind will blow during the watch; they correspond to the hex-grid on the regional map.

The number range (e.g., 1–3) is the mean windforce. The GM can get a specific windforce by rolling 1d3. Better yet, use discretion to gauge the actual windforce (if needed); sheltered locales will be less windy (the low end of the range) and exposed areas will tend to have more violent winds (the top end). The following table is a guide to windforce scale.

INSERT TABLE

Scale	Force	Leagues/h	km/h	M.P.H.
0	Calm	0–2	0–8	0–5
1	Breeze	2–6	8–24	5–15

3	Gale	12–22	48–88	30–55
4	Storm	22+	88+	55+
Optional: In coastal hexes, the wind is likely to blow onshore at dusk, offshore at dawn.
