Didn't even think about that...bleh.  Whoops.  3 time line possiblities. ;)
No idea if any plot lines or necessary slow downs are coming up in Rougtero
or not.

travel times, and you can only run so many adventures that are based on
people traveling from A to B.  Once things get rolling they might slow
down a bit, but I'm honestly not sure for Jevan's.  The one I'm thinking
of running will require some time to setup, and then slow down a bit.
