[QUOTE="buzzard, post: 2806062, member: 3003"] In my home campaign they travel. However it doesn't involve them sitting there slowly making progress watching the same boring scenery stream by. Maybe the exploration thing does it for some people, but honestly in D&D campaigns, travel is almost always handwaved with the exception of random encounters. "You need to travel to the other side of the kingdom. You arrange for horses, travel the King's Road, and <roll, roll, roll> have an uneventful journey as you pass a number of villages and farms, stopping at wayside Inns". Well that takes a whole five minutes of description which the equivalent of in WoW would have been an hour or so<very rough estimate>. I didn't mind scenery in CoH very much because: A) It was all in one City, so distances weren't all that great. B) You had travel powers which actually meant you could move with good velocity. As of 14th level you could get super speed and move at around 50 MPH. Plodding along is what annoys me, zipping along isn't so bad. buzzard [/QUOTE]
