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?
