[QUOTE="Aura, post: 6382025, member: 6747658"] [sblock=Still need to know…]How far ahead of the closest point to Boar's ridge you want to get off the road. It sounds like you're staying close to the road, just inside the tree line, so my Kobold Traps do not get you. Then we can work from there.[/sblock] [sblock=Measurement Units and Immersion]Actually, use of yards outdoors is a old 1st Ed DnD holdover of mine. Despite it not being supported for years now, I sometimes use it, particularly when tired (which I have been, rather frequently.) As a matter of genre, I think Imperial is a more flavorful/immersive system, particularly with a few additional archaic units, such as stone, hand, etc. However, it kinda falls flat when you homogenize other parts of the system, such as money being all in 10's for the gold/silver/copper conversions.

But, you don't have to really worry about it in any case, it's just one of my little preoccupations.
