About this episode

The episode discusses how to make travel in D&D/TTRPG games meaningful and interesting.

Travel can be a cumbersome task to bring to your D&D/TTRPG table. Many folks just ~poof~ eliminate it from the game and the party "teleports" from Point A to B. This week, we discuss how to make travel meaningful AND interesting for your group! *** SUPPORT THE SHOW!
