Depends. Are they in civilized lands or not? In civilized lands, usually goes something like this.

City-Village-Town-Village-Town-Village-City

With each stage being a day's travel or even half a day in heavily populated areas like the heart of an empire. Usually these are set along rivers or coastlines, but with advanced roadways you get more areas in land.

In uncivilized areas, having to go a week between settlements is not unreasonable. I usually like to have most human villages 4-7(1d4+3) days between each other until you leave human lands and start to get into inhuman lands (Orcs, Goblins and the like). Now that being the case, you usually won't have more then 2 frontier settlements before you hit uncivilized lands. Often 1 will do. So civilized pattern, then 1d4+3 days and hit a frontier village, then inhuman lands. If the 1d4 comes up a 1, I will consider another village if the second 1d4 doesn't come up 3 or 4. Sometimes I'll even allow it on the 3, never the 4.

The Pathfinder scale of 1 hex equals 12 miles usually works for me. I have a 320 x 145 hex map at that scale that defines the major human realm on my world. Lots of different cultures in that area and lots of settlements for various types of play. Got a couple of good forests and mountains in there for stuff inside the grand realm. Then I have 5 satellite realms with wilderness between each of the realm for frontier play. Dwarf realms and Elf realms in various hidden areas of uncivilized land exist. So I have plenty of different stuff to explore and that is less then 20 percent of the planned world.

At that scale of world building, I could kick it up to 24 miles per hex, but then I lose some of the granularity of map that disturbs me. I would prefer a 1 mile per hex map, but that is way too much work. But I will do those maps for select areas, like when a player settles down and tries to build a realm, keep, or dungeon.

Characters can't walk 12+ hours per day like horses. There are rules for forced march. If players try to make long journeys on foot, they'll soon be fatigued and, after a while, take nonlethal damage from extended march. That's the whole point of the Endurance feat, something people usually only get as a prereq.

Wagons exist so you're not constantly making stops to rest and don't travel fatigued/exhausted. I know it's DnD, but for once try to think of your character as a person instead of an automata.

>>51599280
People can march 30 to 40 kilometers per day on regular, not particularly challenging ground. Beyond that, you are approaching forced march exertion, which isn't sustainable for long.
On horse you can consistently get double that, assuming the horse is in good health and you have good gear and plenty of good resting spots for the horse. A wagon isn't faster and, depending on the load, maybe even slower than a rider because the horses need to pull a shitload of weight and continuous exertion and horses don't go well together.

Towns usually are spaced less than a casual day's travel away from each other.

>>51599553
Walking ten to twelve hours isn't unreasonable if you are actually travelling on foot. If you want to get somewhere it's not like you have anything else to do, except for eat, sleep and maybe take a short rest here and there. People do that even today.

Rolling

Sure, I love rolling for random shit

>1, 3, 8
tripodal crustacean with two arms
>5, 5, 8, 1
unbelievably skinny, a wiry mantis/shrimp looking thing
it has flexible, slinglike claws on the end of its long arms. it spins the arm, or maybe its whole body, to build up momentum to throw things
>3, 9, 2, 5
dogmatic, angry, and monotheistic. don't fuck with the sea-mother, and actually, get the fuck out of our sea entirely, if you please
alchemy. and if you don't, we're going to sneak up the beach at night and throw explosive concoctions all over your village that break apart the earth and allow the sea to rush in and reclaim it

Rolled 1, 1, 6, 5, 3, 8, 9, 9, 3, 3, 6 = 54 (11d10)

What would you want to replace them with ?
Most likely it would just end up being unnecessarily complicated
I'm biased since I love the system, but it's pretty much perfect for what it's supposed to do

>>51598801
I'd like to replace it with a background system. Instead of careers, you'd choose (or roll randomly, if that's your thing) different events that happened in your life, and those would influence your skills. You'd still put points in each event, both to keep the dice rolling the same and to determine how influential that event was.

>>51598913
But you gain skills from practice, not trauma or just experience
Maybe you could add an 'important events' system on the side to justify knowledge and other gifts, but BoL careers are already pretty vast
If by events you mean extended periods of time practicing a set of activities, I'm okay with you, it just means you expand the possible number of careers
Otherwise doesn't make sense

Magic in some settings are pretty damn close to what psionics are in most others. Exactly what is "magic", in this case?

>>51598224

"Magic" in this case is supernatural ability that allows people to do some unnatural stuff, like creating protective charms and trinkets, create or move small amounts of energy (lightning bolt), change matter with some limitations of both material and size, create half-living monsters and so on. All of this magic requires a lot of physical spirit energy that living things have, called Anima, to cast and a lot of training.

I say that I am combining psionics and magic because all the above is pretty traditionally magic but I kind of wanted some implications of mind reading, fortune telling, emphatic sensing, and more so innate ability to actually use it, and a question of willpower to resist it which is more traditionally psychic then magic.

>>51598202
Depends on the outcome, but "Wyrd" might be a nice name for it

It could be magic that keys off psychic influence of reality

Or traditionally psionic effects that key off of specific rituals/procedures

Depends on what flavor you like best

The original Final Fantasy was a giant copyright infringement of AD&D, so if that's what you're going for you should play AD&D instead.
Otherwise, see >>51598592

Three

One in particular had a shopkeep mechanic and multiple pages worth of intricate notes on stock and production status.

HAH Good riddence.

They oppressed people for not being pro LBGT.
I was once in a game where i simply questioned someone on their characaters gender and they banned me, the GM who was mostly indifferent sided with me and they then banned him too.

I was in a Call of Cthulu game where we were in the 1920s and some gay wanted to play a gay. So i said; well if i find out, expect my character to react normally as they would in the 1920s. He went straight to the mods and had me band. Truth hurts most of all i guess.

You know, those threads work best once a month, or even once a couple of months. Otherwise, the amount of reposts is unbearable.

No, because the Great Void doesn't exist.

>the Great Void doesn't exist.

>>51597614
Well, precisely.

What the chap was trying to tell you is that your problem is ontological in nature.

A void is definitively an absence of a thing, and what's the point in worshipping something that isn't?

Actually, never mind, I just remembered Zen Buddhism was a thing, carry on.

Something is definitely up. LSV has been being nothing but a buzzkill for the last year. Looking back it seems like they cucked that Emerson guy pretty hard. People started seeing Gaby so they got oneitis, so they roll out her hubby to tell people she's off the market (for some reason), and LSV always seemed alittle too eager to defend her honor or something.

Supposedly was not wearing his wedding ring during PT coverage, but I didn't see that...

Doesn't he have a kid now?

>D&D is too overwrought for your taste,
That's impossible, you can't get much lighter-weight than OSR without going to freeform. RISUS, I guess?

To some folks, old D&D doesn't exist, only new D&D counts.

what the hell

>>51594464
As long as it needs to be.

Not quite long enough

>>51594464
The one you've posted is standarised for 100 meters. And it's cord, not string

Not much, hearthstones appeal is in the quality of the framework around the card game. Stuff like the sounds and animations that can't be transferred into a real world game.

>>51594382
Don't make OP as fuck 1 and 2 drops, or else it fucks up the rest of your game really hard.

>>51594382
I hope hot. Heartstone is already worse than MtG ever was and the train doesn't seem to be slowing down.

>The boxes at the bottom are the weapons. I didn't get a good look at the Warhound console, but i assume its has two weapons. Arm Weapons are in a 90 degree arc to the front. The Reaver carapace weapon is 360 Degree arc. The Warlord carapace is a fixed forward fire. When weapons are destroyed, the card is flipped over. Additional damage would then be rolled as the damage then can flash back into the Titan.

Will it finally have miniatures?
