[QUOTE="billd91, post: 8116567, member: 3400"] I dunno, page 106 of the DMG has some interesting advice - specifically the Hour by Hour Approach to wilderness. The montage approach doesn't lend itself well to engagement, but even Sacrosanct's montage-oriented summary takes explicitly validates having a ranger in the group. Ultimately, I think the montage approach is not best suited for groups that actually have PCs oriented around the wilderness. So give them something to do like you would when mapping out a dungeon. Give them obstacles and encounters that their ranger might be able to navigate around (at the cost of more time - and maybe with other interesting findables along the way like a lost shrine or monster lair). Give them obstacles that the ranger's skills will help the group detect and analyze (but that other characters' skills may be needed for). And give them some terrain that isn't on the ranger's favored list. [/QUOTE]
