RE: (TFT) Overland Travel

Well in easy terrain with people in tremendous shape for
just a couple days, people have gone 50 km a day overland.
I would consider this the absolutely the best that you 
would expect PC's to be able to do.

If they want to keep it up for several days a more 
reasonable distance is 40 km a day if traveling light.

Everything else slows people down.  Rivers, hills, 
mountains forests, swamps, etc.

If the party was fighting its way up steep slopes thru
devil's club (a BC native fern: all thorns and hate)
having to cross back and forth across a small river
that cuts from one side of the steep valley to
another you might be lucky to do 2 km a day.  (During
the building of the CPR railway, some of their scouts
reported distances traveled of about that.)

So I don't use any standard table of forest which allows 
you 15 km / day.  I just wing it based on how lightly 
the party is traveling, how dense the terrain is, how
early they get up each morning and how hard they are 
trying to cover ground.

Hello all,

Does anyone a good set of rates for overland travel (x miles per day), just
at the level of detail of roads, open land, forest and mountains? 

Thanks in advance,
