In 4e, Language is pretty much all or nothing. You can either speak a language very well, or you can't speak it at all. The only wiggle room in the rules as written in the Nationality (Languages) subsection of the Character Creation chapter. It states (paraphrasing here) that everyone speaks a litt...

Personally, I have resorted to google maps, because the 10x10km size of the hexes is too big for my tastes and the maps are not detailed enough when it comes to smaller roads etc. But, if you buy the Foundry VTT module, you can connect your computer to your TV and show the map on there :) I use Ope...

The risk with google maps is the existence and/or quality of today's roads 2 decades ago...after ~3 years of war. I know my hometown changed quite a bit over my professional career. Does that matter to your game? That's for you to decide. Usually, it's the larger roads that have been added over the...

The smaller roads (not on the map) count as off-road for a reason. Those that have ”navigated” backroads before the era of gps remember how easy it was to get lost, especislly without maps. Add to this the changes that war makes to roads and yeah, it will not be as easy as following 4-8 lane partly...

I get that.

No worries.

Some of my players were thinking of bringing their laptops and tablets along next time anyway, just to have easier inventory access.

Is there anyway to use Foundry on mobile? E.g. Ref has the only laptop (in a live game), but players should be able to check their gear etc. Simple tasks, mostly (if not only) inventory management. Sadly, not really. My players have had various success using tablets, but it seems to hinge a lot on ...

Yeah, the game really just plots the main highways basically. We're currently playing around Nora in my campaign and the players wanted to recon towards Örebro, and according to the map, there's one road that leads to Örebro. But... looking at google maps, there's like three other roads that run par...

Thanks for the suggestion. I thought that might be a solution, but when I priced it out, it was almost as expensive as a second boxed set! (It's a big sheet of paper!) I've divided the map into 9 letter-sized chunks, will print them individually, and then mount them on a board. Much less expensive!...
