Xen'drik Expeditions to Tomb of Annihilation

Thanks for responding. First, Xen'drik is massive compared to Chult. You can see on the map's mileage key that each hex represents about 100 miles of distance. While that is technically canon, Keith Baker has stated numerous times that the official distances used on the Eberron maps when the campaign setting first came out were blown up by about a factor of 10. As a result, it would take weeks to get between countries, even aboard the lightning rails. That was never the intent of the setting and early on, Keith encouraged people to reduce the distances by a factor of 10.

Keeping that in mind, I added the hex grid assuming that each one is about 10 miles across, just like in the Tomb of Annihilation adventure module. I then used the rules presented in the Tomb of Annihilation to determine travel time.

"On the map of Chult, each hex measures 10 miles across. Characters moving at a normal pace can travel 1 hex per day on foot through coastal, jungle, mountain, swamp, or wasteland terrain....See more They can travel 2 hexes per day if they’re traveling by canoe on a river or lake. The rate of travel up or down river is the same; the rivers are so sluggish that current is almost imperceptible. Without canoes, the normal rate of travel along a river is the same as through the surrounding terrain. Canoes move 1 hex per day through swamp."

If you want to use the official distances displayed on the map, my recommendation would be to do some hand waving regarding distances and make it possible for them to cross each hex within a day as specified and say they're able to move that fast because of the Traveler's Curse. Hope that helps.

Thanks for clarifying that.

Hey Daniel,

These are additional adventures to the ones presented in Eberron Guide to Tomb of Annihilation. I have updated the descriptions of both products to make that a little more clear. You can read the previews of both to get a sense of what's in each product.

There is one monster that both supplements share: The Giant Animated Statue. Other than that, they are completely different products.

If you only want to download one, I would recommend Eberron Guide to Tomb of Annihilation. That supplement has a lot of information about how to convert the history of the tomb and the names of the different countries, locations, and factions from Forgotten Realms to Eberron. If you already have that product and want a little more, this is a great addition.

I hope that helps. Take care. :-)

Thanks - I purchased both! :-)
