Movement Speeds, Time Steps, and Map Scale

I've been looking at movement speeds across RPGs and noticed some huge differences.  How can something so well-known vary so much across representations?  Here some quick stats (cursory pull from core rules for first level characters, but representative).

Shadowrun
Round: 3 seconds
Walk: 8 to 15 m
Run: 20 to 35 m

DCC
Round: 10 seconds
Single Move: 20 to 40 feet
Double Move: 30 to 60 feet

Pathfinder
Round: 6 seconds
Walk: 20 to 30 feet
Run: 100 to 150 feet

AD&D
Segment: 6 seconds
Movement: 120 to 150 feet

Summary               MIN                       MAX
Shadowrun            6.0 mph                   26.0 mph
DCC                     1.4 mph                       4.0 mph
Pathfinder              2.3 mph                   17.0 mph
AD&D                  13.6 mph                 17.0 mph
Fastest 100m Olympics            27 mph
Typical human walking                3 mph
Racewalker                                 8.7 mph

Now of most interest is the maximum speeds.  Is DCC really that much slower?  I understand that the 26.0 mph is for trolls in Shadowrun, which is a somewhat unique race.  Also, each system has different ways of treating encumbrance.  Looking at the whole collectiion, besides DCC numbers seeming a little low (which could be my misinterpretation), I think the ranges look reasonable.

The impact of these numbers -- namely the time step and max movement speeds -- is the reasonableness of scale to use in mapping..  In Pathfinder, 5' squares seems really comfy, but I have a feeling in Shadowrun, 5 meter squares will probably be easier in environments where players are going to be running around a lot.

5E Starting Gold and Equipment for Higher Levels

The DMG has a rough recommendation for starting gold and equipment for higher levels, but with my groups running one-shots, we wanted to nail it down to level by level. Here's my DMG-inspired table. Generally I allow equipment to be traded in during character creation for half book value, where applicable. I also, as a GM, offer to make custom magic items for players who can't choose. A list of magical items by rarity can be found here  with stats available in the DMG. I also generally allow players to buy healing potions (2d4+2) for 50gp and greater healing potions for 250gp (4d4+4). PHB items are available at book cost at creation. I do not allow other equipment to be purchased except in game. This is generally based off the "high magic" campaign. Level Starting Gold Starting Equipment / Magic Items 1 - 160gp  OR Standard starting equipment 2 210gp Standard starting equipment 3 285gp Standard starting equipment 4 365gp Standard sta...

Rules for Flying Creatures in 5E

I'm not one for just throwing my players willy-nilly into something new without an idea of how it would work.  Flying races are on the horizon for one of my games, so here are my clarifications for flying creatures: A flying creatures requires a minimum space of at least 3 times their height in all directions in order to flight. For example, a 6 ft tall flying creature requires a room to be at least 18 ft in all dimensions before they can fly in it. A flying creature can attempt to grapple a creature.  If the the target or grappler are flying, grapple attempts are at disadvantage. If neither are flying, grapples are per RAW.  The state of flying or walking is determined by the last square you have moved.  To change between walking and/or flying, you must use at least 1 space of movement.  Movement rules per RAW apply (PHB pg 190 "Using Different Speeds") A successful grapple check by a flying creature can allow the flying creature to potentially carry th...

Exploiting Weakness in D&D 5e: A Guide for the Evil Plotting GM

I wrote a similar article to this on Pathfinder, and though this is a pretty evil topic, it has been of use to a lot of folks out there.  So, now, I think, is the time to start a similar article for D&D 5e.  This will be a living document to be updated with suggestions and more information as I find better methods. In general, 5e is a lot more challenging for a GM, because the classes are reasonably balanced and because the game mechanics don't have a lot of scale over the 20 levels. Here's a general list of things to increase the difficulty for the party: Increase the number of foes and the CR (ignore the book CR system if it isn't offering a challenge) Spells against the PCs low saves.  A high level sleep spell, for example, could take out a party with no elves. Drag out the opportunity for the long rest.  After 2 short rests, the 3rd battle of the day is tough. Hit the most vulnerable PC first. It almost always forces another teammate to take an acti...
