Watch Length
Pick a watch length that matches the kind of game you want:
• If you want it tight and gritty, use 2-hour watches.
• If you want classic “cover ground but still feel pressure,” use 4-hour watches.
• If you want it looser and faster, use half-day watches.
The three travel modes
Normal travel
• standard movement
• standard navigation
• standard encounter risk
Cautious travel
• slower movement
• better chance to spot trouble first
• better chance to stay on course
Fast travel
• more distance
• more likely to get lost
• higher fatigue risk
• more likely to blunder into trouble
Wilderness actions
• foraging or hunting
• scouting ahead
• searching for a feature
• mapping carefully
• moving stealthily
• hiding your trail
• setting an ambush
• building shelter early because the weather is turning nasty
For wilderness travel to matter, you need:
• a time unit (watches)
• a risk roll (encounters)
• navigation consequences (lost, drift, time)
• resource pressure (supplies, fatigue, exposure)
• and a feature per chunk (so there are actual decisions)
