Description and lore
A broad wagon bed carries passengers or supplies above substantial wheels and axles.
A wagon changes the scale of an expedition's preparations. Crates, bedrolls and spare equipment must be arranged around the people travelling with them.
It makes the road part of the party's practical concerns. Ruts, loading space and the condition of the harness give a supply journey its texture.
