This page translates some of the D&D measurements into metric units for easier real-life comparisons.

Map Scale

The standard map we use has a scale of 23.3 mm = 1 square = 5 ft = 1.5 meters.

This gives a scale of approximately 65:1

Movement

Translation of the Movement Table of the SRD into metric measurements:
