Six feet a minute is 360 feet an hour, or a little  over  half  a
mile  in an 8-hour day.  This  may be proper for spelunkers,  but
for  the typical 10' wide dungeon  corrider?   And  if  you  drop
everything (for Movement 12") and run flat out (x10), you make 11
miles a day, which implies that in D&D, a  marathon  takes  18-20
hours.   No armor, no mapping, but a 20 hour marathon.  Excuse me
if I laugh. (And yes, I was in the SCA too.)

Not a jab at people who play D&D (I used to), but just at the D&D
rules themselves.

	Smials & Snails, perhaps?
