What first caught my attention was the number of books included in it: 5 of them (of very different sizes […]

I’ve been doing some research, done some math, and am eager to show you this new technique I created to run a better hexcrawling campaign or adventure using 5e.

These typically appear to show great maps to explore. However, what you may not know, is that they have been used for several years and people might continue to do so. Want to know why?

Being a big fan of the adventuring style Indiana Jones-vibe genre in pretty much any media I completely adored the adventure. I am pretty tired, however, of WotC modules and would like to recreate something of the sort myself someday. I went rewatch the Indiana Jones movies and decided to write down the core aspects to make that genre come to life in RPG adventures. […]

That’s the, um, topic. Journeys? Anyway, this is a rules module for when hour-by-hour wandering through a wilderness region isn’t right for the situation. As Mearls explains in the intro, this is for when you have a destination in mind and a decent general idea of how to get there.
