Hey DMs, how do you deal with the mundane necessities of adventuring like food, shelter, and sleep in your campaign? Do you keep close tabs on it all, and mandate that at least a crude shelter be made each night? If so, how do you do that?
Do you ensure that the PCs keep tabs on food, and nock them down d/t hunger effects?
Or do you just handwave it to allow for faster, less cumbersome gameplay?
I am starting my first campaign as a DM, and am not certain how detailed and realistic most people want their adventuring to be. I don't want gameplay to be a chore, but I don't want a 300-mile hike with no forethought on provisions and sleeping arrangements, either. I've backpacked and slept in a hand-made shelter before, and it's hard work!
