I used it for one journey... having borrowed it. It wasn't spectacular, but was very thematic.

Then I recently bought a copy. I noticed some significant odds differences.

Note that it's 15 All, 16 Guide, 15 each huntsman and lookout, and 14 scout...
but the dice odds for 75 tries would be: 6 all; 19 guide; 13 each huntsman, lookout, and scout; 5 player choice, 6 empty slot. (I robbed one from player choice to round out huntsman, lookout, and scout.)

Also, note: All cannot wound, huntsman cannot fatigue, and scout cannot bring misery when using it...

It's a different texture to travel from the die rolls...

I actually prefer the roll system and the suggested hazards in the pre-written adventures, but my group really likes drawing the cards so we do that. Sometimes you get cowed by the masses ;)
