Haha.
They need 4-8 hours for a long rest (4hrs for elves trancing) so 11 minutes is pretty irrelevant. Not sure I've ever seen a party try... -

Like.
Literally everyone's actual answer is "whatever makes in-game sense at the time", so that's kind of pointless to list as a choice. The... -

I went with 3 because I do have random encounters, even occasionally on main roads, but I don't muck with rest rules or limit access to...

While 5e may have been designed with the expectation that every session of every campaign ever run would look more like half minute hero...

In that case almost everyone's vote should be 5, then, as in pretty much every campaign there's sooner or later going to come a time or...

Maybe we are talking about the maximum level of difficulty then?

Sure, but that is greatly impacted by what is going on in the world, which is largely decided by the GM, as well as the rules governing...

Impossible to vote for me, as there's no "whatever makes in-game sense at the time" option. Long-resting on a cross-country trek will...
