In Avowed, I run with reckless abandon. With no stamina bar to get in the way of my sprinting spree, I can dash across the lush plains of Dawnshore for as long as I want, and damn if it doesn’t feel good. By simply removing any kind of limit on the amount of time I can move faster, I’m instead able to decide when or if I want to slow down myself. I didn’t expect such an omission to make exploration feel quite so freeing, but it really does make all the difference. Running wild across the landscapes of Eora…

For a game called Dungeons & Dragons, it sure seems like homebrew games (and even a lot of pre-written campaigns) skimp on both—which is something I’m guilty of myself. Give me a rulebook for anything, and I’ll find a way to plonk it in a city and have players doing political intrigue in a sea of proper nouns. If I want them to actually go to an ancient ruin and slay a monster, I have to basically force my itching hand to avoid making any factions for my whole prep session.
