SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I really like the willpower mechanism, although I am very hard on when players are allowed to push rolls to gain them and follow the common houserule on limiting how many can be held.

The mapscale thing comes down to what the players expect and how the GM runs the campaigns.
You could rush the players from one side of the map to the other and back again many, many  times by placing the sites in known distant locations and not encouraging wilderness searching except at the encounter locations. This would be the sort of "handwaving" travel that occurs in non hexcrawl games. Or you could make the location of the sites very vague and force the players to search every hex in a given area in detail to find the adventure.
