Miles per day! Hexploration! Point crawls! Call it whatever you want, the fact is that overland travel can be burdensome and difficult to manage. We don't want to just gloss over this important aspect of fantasy adventuring, but we also don't want to spend a real-life month just traveling between points A and B. So what can we do?
In this episode we delve into the topic of Overland Travel and why it's important (or can be ignored), what makes it fun, and what has our past experiences taught us about what works and why?

Derik, Aaron, and Bob are back for another discussion about RPGs! This time the primary focus of the conversation is on the importance of balance in RPG systems; what is balance and is it important? In a game system with a powerful referee and judge in the form of a game or dungeon master do RPGs really even need to be focused on balance? How do you manage the trade-off between balance and fun? Can a game be "too balanced"?
All these questions and more are discussed and answered on this episode of the Late Knight Show! -
In our third episode we discuss some questions for Twitter about consumable resources and the impact of death on your game! We then spend some time talking about Matt Colville's recent video about the nature of XP and how reward drive gameplay and finish off with a long discussion about Hero Points in PF2 and what THAT game system is trying to accomplish with their game engine!
