Mapping and distances

[Matthew Fahler <martuck@expert.cc.purdue.edu>]

I had a thought about something for a little bit of consistency.  One GM
says that it takes a week to get to Port Haven.  Another says that it
takes a little over a day.  We need to set up some guidelines of how long
the trips take during normal traveling conditions.  Say a nice easy march.
Then GMs can have a basis to adjust times based on how traveling
conditions really are.  This will lend some consistency to the game.  I
have had a lot of players say things like, "But it only took me a day last
week to go that far!!!"  Players notice those things and kind of look at
it as if the gms have no consistency.
