What to prep

If you know that an expedition is in the PCs' future, there's plenty you can prepare in advance. You don't need to prepare these things, but prep can help make the journey go more smoothly in play.

First, chart the course. Look at where they're going, their likely route(s), and make your choices for the Chart a Course move. Write them down with little check boxes next to them, so you can tick them off as you present them in play.

Next, draw a map of the route that you expect them to take or the area you expect them to traverse. Grab a map of the vicinity around Stonetop or the World's End region and highlight or add the points of interest relevant to the journey. Consider making a more zoomed-in map for areas that aren't very well detailed on the regional map.
