This One Weird Trick Makes Players Care About Travel (Liches Hate It!) Tired of players snoozing through travel? Transform journeys from bland fast-travel into adventures that bite back. Sentient bridges, memory-stealing tolls, and paladins crushed by guilt - your road trips will haunt them. The Red Wizard reveals how to make every mile hurt (in the best way). No third edition encounter tables needed.

• Future corpses appear ahead
• Trees that hiccup wine
• Paladins crushed by guilt
(Yes, we've tested these. No, we're not sorry.)

Not every player wants the spotlight—some want a flashlight to explore the edges.

Design for both. Honor both.
