[QUOTE="AaronOfBarbaria, post: 6835466, member: 6701872"] I don't, as DM, put any effort towards reaching X number of encounters in a day. That's just not how I set up adventures. However, that doesn't stop the party from having those 6-8 encounters on a fairly regular basis simply because they've got a goal they are trying to accomplish which has about that many encounters between them and reaching that goal, and resting as feels needed to them results in not taking a long rest until after their goal is accomplished. The only thing that I actually concern myself about the 6-8 encounters per day expectation for is when I am trying to decide if the game is working as intended or not - if things seem really easy for the party before they end up taking a long rest, and they had less than 6-8 encounters between that rest and the last one, I say "ok, that makes sense. Working as intended it seems." rather than "I must not have put together hard enough encounters" or "this game is busted." [/QUOTE]
