The map of the Territories is really cool, even cooler that there’s one on the inside of the dust jacket (my players loved passing it around).
The question is how big is it? And what is that in “mouse-walk hours”?
I.e. on average how long does it take a patrol to walk from one town to another assuming average-ideal conditions?
I know it’s not a hex map type situation or game for that matter. I’m just looking for a rough guide, hours? a day? a week? etc.
In other words when a player says:
“How long will it take us to get there?”
I can say something like:
“Oh, around x days” (If you make it past the snake, avoid the mudslide, the beating rain and the homicidal mouseiac bent on revenge).
I remember a huge argument on a Glorantha list years back about just this. One side was trying to pin down exact numbers on travel times based on historical sources and modern hikers. The other side said it didn’t matter. If the PCs have to get somewhere in time, roll the dice and see if they make it!
My point? I’m really glad that argument didn’t come up here. It was ugly then.
