While conflicts may be the most memorable moments of a game session, the
|
|
exploration of the game world is another major aspect of Fabula Ultima. At the
|
|
beginning of the game, your group will create the world together (see World
|
|
Creation, on <a href="/books/core/#page-148">page 148</a>); however, this does
|
|
not mean you know everything about it. While you may be familiar with the main
|
|
regions and cities, there are plenty of discoveries — and dangers! — awaiting
|
|
our heroes.

<h2>TRAVELING ACROSS THE WORLD MAP</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
When a group embarks on a journey, the Game Master makes use of the map sheet
|
|
to track their movements. The basic unit of this system is the travel day: it
|
|
is the average distance covered during a single day on the map (assuming the
|
|
characters are traveling on foot). The length of one travel day when using
|
|
your map sheet must be established by the group during World Creation.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>For each travel day required by the journey, perform the following steps:</p>
|
|
<h3>JOURNEYS AND TRA VELS</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
For the sake of simplicity, travel days should always be rounded up to the
|
|
next whole number — a journey taking two and a half days is rounded up to
|
|
three days, for instance.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The Game Master always has final say on how many travel days a journey will
|
|
take.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<strong>W:</strong> The Game Master determines the threat level of the areas
|
|
traversed by the group (see next page). If more than a single threat level
|
|
is present, only apply the highest.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<strong>1W:</strong> Unless stopped by an encountered danger, the characters
|
|
proceed to the next travel day (go back to step 1) or reach their
|
|
destination.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<strong>3O:</strong> Perform a travel roll by rolling the die appropriate to
|
|
the chosen threat level.
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>On a 6 or higher, the group encounters a danger!</li>
|
|
<li>On a 1, the group makes an unexpected discovery!</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The Game Master decides the location of each danger and discovery; if you
|
|
need, mark its position on your map sheet.
