6-8 Encounters a long rest is, actually, a pretty problematic idea.

[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 7407007, member: 12731"] I agree completely except I'd phrase it as its sort of on [b]the game[/b] to force them to live the consequences of doing so. I get you're enjoying the luxury of having gamers that abide by an unwritten gentleman's agreement to work with the spirit of the rules. Problem is, there's so much to be gained by not doing that, and instead bringing the party's formidable array of assets to bear on the target "let's rest now". In short, unless the game forces you to keep going, why do it? Because it makes for a more exciting, better, game experience, is why! That much is obvious. But to many groups it's a hard sell to voluntarily abstain from resting. For these groups the rules could REALLY offer official variants that make the resting non-trivial to attain, so I didn't have to go to lengths such as "you simply cannot log rest in a jungle hex, no exceptions".
