Travel Speeds Table

Wallpaper by Mark22

for The Witcher TRPG by R.Talsorian Games

created by TheMOELANDER and DerGeGa Based on other roleplaying game systems.

How to use this table:

First you take a map of your choosing, measure the distance between the two points, that your
party want to travel. Then you determine the environments, weather and all other factors that play
a role in this travel. Ask your party how long they want to travel each day, if they want to make
stops, and at what pace they want to travel. Then go through the table, take the type of travel
they are using, then apply any modifiers. The resulting number, is their average speed per hour.
Don’t forget to decrease their stamina if they exert themselves.

REMEMBER: A group can only travel as fast as the slowest member (if they want to stick
together)!
