When I saw the lovely, crunchy table for overland travel I knew it was 
the right system. Also, you need danger for a good game of that type, 
and the combat system sure makes characters' life interesting and dangerous.

Put like that, I can certainly see that treasures, looted weapons and 
ten kinds of flotsam and jetsam are "adventurerer's gear". Yeah, that's 
a good call.

Yes, certainly. That's what makes it such a nice mechanic.
