Making travel interesting

[Kryos]

I think you misunderstood what I meant by solve your own problems.  On another, more amusing note, there are very well role-played, sane PCs who DO think "I'm going to go find something dangerous that will possibly kill me!" Think about it.

Either way, I'd rather danger to my PC on the roads be other PCs.

It's pretty much always conducive to an enjoyable RP experience.

Rather than the, "HEY! THAT LOOKS FLESHY!!" *KILLKILLCHOMPCHOMP* or the, "HEY! THAT'S NOT OUR RACE!" *KILLKILLCHASECHASE* that comes about with NPCs.
