D&D General How to Make Travel Meaningful and Interesting

[Micah Sweet]

The scenery type stuff should mostly be in addition to the interesting encounters and not be the encounter itself. And often times you don't want that stuff to be random. If you are using say the weather to help set a specific tone then you can't use/rely on a random table to do that.

I'm not trying specifically to set the tone. I'm trying to make the world feel more real. Nothing on the table I would roll on has anything that would be out of place in the area.
