Uncharted Journeys provides a wealth of information, rules, and encounters to make travel a key part of your 5e adventures. The book includes

  • Easy to understand rules for journeys and exploration: Set the Route to your destination and determine how long (and how dangerous) the journey will be; Prepare by gathering supplies, securing mounts, and resting before the long road ahead; and finally, Make the Journey and experience strange and unique encounters along the way, and be forever changed by your experiences.

  • Rules for four key Roles required for a successful journey: the Outrider, the Quartermaster, the Sentry, and the Leader. Each Role has a unique ability that can be the difference between success and failure on the treacherous paths you travel.

  • Advice on which Classes are best suited to which Roles, as well as new rules for resting and recovering Class abilities while on a long journey.

  • New ways to create unique and interesting travellers you meet on the road: Where and when do you meet them? Are they friend or foe? Where are they going? Why are they travelling? What do they want? 

  • Rules for creating countless ancient ruins that your party can discover: who built them, how old are they, and who lurks there now? Is it an archive containing forgotten elven lore, or was it created by an ancient civilisation for some sinister purpose?

  • Almost 2,000 Journey Encounters across 16 different regions, including huge cities teeming with people, thick jungle overrun by beasts, haunted lands ruled by a malicious Vampire Lord,  and scorched hellscapes ruled by demons and monstrosities.

  • A custom character sheet and Journey Chronicle to keep a record of all your adventures!

Question about weather: When calculating the Journey difficulty DC, does the GM assume the weather will be constant throughout the journey? It seems unusual to assume that a 1 month journey will have either storms or clear skies but not both. Am I misunderstanding?

Great question Zachary! I've a response from the development team:

"In the Difficulty section on P 13 we recommend that this roll for weather and terrain represents the average weather and terrain for the duration of the Journey. When traveling on a Journey it's expected that different spells of weather will occur throughout, but this roll will determine what kind of weather events had the most impact on your Journey."

Was there ever an update or errata that explained how Sorcerers regain their Sorcery Points in this?

Hey Eugene, I've asked the development team and this is what they say:

"On Page 19 we cover how resting works on a Journey. When traveling on a Journey, the strain of the effort of traveling and the present danger on the road means that long rests aren't possible except in specific encounters.
On Page 10 we give the Sorcerer class a new, Journey Specific, feature that lets them recover spell slots at the cost of hit dice. We have not included any additional features to restore sorcery points."

Will this pdf eventually be available in a printer-friendly version?

294 pages about journeys? And it’s almost $30 for a pdf. I’m gonna wait for some more feedback on this one. And I will keep an eye on it. I’m curious, but skeptical at this point.

This is a confusing or misleading offering. The pictures show a book, while apparently you can only buy a PDF.

Original electronic
Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
