So far I've mostly followed the journey rules of the game, but instead of always coming up with an obstacle on the fly when the rules call for it (it's more general hazards in this game than random encounters), I do sprinkle in prepared scenes. In this case, the adventure revolves around the journey and already has multiple scenes that take place along the way. I used these instead of the "random" event the journey rules would call for.

I can see that the journey rules will become repetitive and boring if you use them for every single bit of travel and always with the random hazards. So I'll probably will only use them for significant travels and mostly make sure that some story happens along the way.

Here is an update on the current campaign progress, with the party travelling through Mirkwood on the Elven Path.

Looking pretty good. One thing I'd suggest is to use less of the pre-fab tree groups, as you can see the repetition quite well. Instead I'd use individual trees in most places and make my own little woodland clumps.

That's fine then, thanks. Adding a note in the post with the pictures would be great.
