[QUOTE="Henry, post: 5824810, member: 158"] Ideally, about 45 min to an hour per session - more than 25% and it will cut into my group's roleplay or combat time too much. It's funny, but of those three "pillars," exploration get ignored most in Paizo's APs (Kingmaker notwithstanding). As [MENTION=467]Reynard[/MENTION] says, Jade Regent is more linear than that, but my purpose is to figure out what kinds of tricks I can use to invoke the feel of "hexcrawl" and "figure out the best path. I like your suggestions on it, as well as the skill challenge suggestions -- my clip-card idea feels a little too gimmicky for it. I think the best way may be to bust out big maps of the area, have a lot of canned description waiting based on terrain, and a couple of either non-combat or "combat-esque" two or three roll encounters like what [MENTION=607]Klaus[/MENTION] said. And before I forget, big thanks to all the suggestions so far. The more idea-tossing, the better it coalesces in my head what I want to do.
