Welcome back to the weekly Tabletop Games thread! This thread is where we can talk about all kinds of RPGs, card games, board games, etc. Whether you gather around a physical table in the real world, or use a virtual space to play with friends who may live far away from you, this is where you can discuss your favorites, ask for and/or receive recommendations, recap your recent adventures, or even find some people to play games with!
This week’s prompt: What kind of travel system do you use in your TTRPG of choice? Do you rigorously plot out every leg of a journey, rely on random encounters to spice things up, gloss over the time between adventures with a montage, or just skip travel altogether by starting each adventure at the dungeon’s entrance? Here’s a video from Pointy Hat explaining the Travel Event System they came up with for D&D. As a bonus prompt, anyone ever use this system, or something like it?
If you would like to suggest a prompt or contribute a write-up or discussion topic of your own, let me know in the comments!
