A simple system for overland travel speed (but is it believable?) in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

It seems fine. I guess the light load/easy terrain speed is a strain depending also on how you interpret "easy terrain". I can imagine doing it on a well maintained road.

Also choosing to go light/easy looks like a statement from a player "We gotta make it on time". It deserves extra speed. And without load of food/water/tent they need to do it in friendly and inhabited areas.

Should we make our own blogroll on DIYRPG? Something like on /osr reddit or OSR discord?

I don't have anything of my own at the moment but recently I recalled this post:

Help, I buy stuff I never play in c/[email protected]

I haven't played over half of the games I own. And I won't play them probably because it is so hard to find willing players. But I have so much fun just reading some of them I don't worry about it.

As long as it is fun for you, don't worry.

How to evoke the feeling of harshness? (diyrpg.org)
 

Do you have some advice on how to evoke feeling of harshness in the setting without making it caricaturally grim or simply stingy with resources? Something like tolkienesque First Era Beleriand with inaccessible gods and great danger nearby but with less superpowered elves and less focus on nobility?
