[QUOTE="Naathez, post: 1971720, member: 17791"] As some of you may have noticed, I've started my new Story Hour, Chronicles of the Orrery. (actually about 40 of you noticed , the viewcount says.) Anyway, I've stumbled into a small problem. A very polite comment from one of my players made me think about the speeds of ships as listed in the DMG. (The map they have available displays the principal ship routes and the time needed for the journey.) It was along the lines of "Wow, it sure takes a long time to travel by sea in here... way longer than in the real world. Is it because seas are particularly treacherous or anything like that?" Now, since I know utterly NOTHING about ships... does anybody know whether those speeds are more or less accurate? They do seem a tad slow, but I really couldn't tell. (Oh, by the way. Yes, the first sentence IS a shameless plug to my Story Hour, Chronicles of the Orrery, by Naathez. As is this last one... :p The question is sincere, though.) [/QUOTE]
