The
Distances
Note
to Players: The following table reflects three distances-- 1) map
distance, 2) air travel distance, and 3) surface travel distance. I
have arbitrarily decided that air travel distances are map distances
multiplied by 1.1 and surface travel distances are map distances multiplied
by 1.5. It's not accurate, but it's simple. For the same reason, no
fractions of a mile in the trip distances. Fiat.

Rates
of Travel by Conveyance
Note
to Players: These rates of travel represent average speed under normal
circumstances, for distance travel rather than speed (for example, a horse
or dogsled can double its per-hour speed, but cannot maintain that speed
for a full day's travel). This does not account for the vagaries of surface
conditions, equipment, weather, other peoples' ideas of punctuality, and
other variables that you are certain to encounter. Per day rates reflect
the fact that nothing runs at 100% efficiency
