Indeed it is.
I can swap out to a different skin and then test the vote, if you like. (But I won't until you specifically tell me to, because voting may be irrevocable and I don't want to jump the gun on some good bughunting testing. )
OK, I think I'm going to have to officially punt on this issue. ClanzDarkness is not a well-supported skin, and the number of fixes I'd have to make to bring it up to date with this version of phpbb is enormous. Sorry, folks. If you want to vote in polls, and you use ClanzDarkness, switch your skin temporarily. That's the best I can offer.

I use the scale found in the red boxed set. After reading "knight of the black rose" I checked a few distances James Lowder wrote about Sithicus and it was pretty close to it. Distances are greater than traditionally and the shadow rift is more than 100 miles from north to south. Darkon which in my oppinion is a very large kingdom is indeed a vast realm. Mordent and Lamordia is not so tiny anymore but that's ok for me
I only have a problem with Keening which would be too large by using this scale. I solved this by making Keening a less stable place to travel. Distances from point A to point B change more frequently than in other domains. Wherever you are , you alwasy see Mount Lament even if you have to travel only a few hours to it or maybe a few weeks. Who can understand the way of the mis?

This is kind of a tough question. Essentially, what I've usually done in my DM'ing is make the Core roughly the same size as Missouri (about 300 x 240 miles), since travel by marginally-maintained roads in the Core takes about the same amount of time that travel took along roads of the same quality in the early 19th century, when the state was at about the same general level of exploration and development as the Core is. I tried it many moons ago on a whim, and the players responded well to the distances and travel times, so it's just kinda stuck around through all of my groups.
