[PnP] pnp Digest, Vol 131, Issue 7 - scans

[Scott Adams]

Well in my pbem this is adventure #7 since 
1999.  I increased in reality/complexity over the years.
This was to balance player high levels.
So first adventure no real detail on food it was just 'assumed".
Gradually from food to inns, etc.  Now its water 
because they are on the Zen'da plains in winter.
All riding.  So I did some chart for how far 
between each piont a village/water source (like pond).  Based
on population/number of hexes.  Now I have that data.
But one spell a player knows will solve it regardless. :)
When horses need 20-40 quarts per day and I 
calculated based on random factors over 3 they needed over 1600 quarts
water is important for horses.
I'm a detail person being a programmer.  So I 
don't mind the detail complexity at this point.
If it was old route Sivas to Ticasi over road 
sure no big deal Inns/water sources galore.  But plains
are desolate.
