Your way (sounds like 3.5 or 4th edition's suggested play) bores me. It's subjective.No, don't say that. That's not actually an idea the recommended play style of 5th edition suggests you should ever have.The only idea the recommended style has is that a party can probably take on 6-8 encounters before needing a long rest. That's it. You're not supposed to bank on the idea that the party doesn't get a rest before some encounter in particular, at least not unless your scenario makes it impossible for that to not be the case.The solution to that, in my experience, is to either make sure there isn't "no other reason" or to just let the players have their characters rest - and not stress out about that making some upcoming challenge "too easy".Of course, all the advice in the world on how to run campaigns the way I do doesn't mean diddly - despite it being fun for me, and for my players, and matching quite closely to how 5th edition guidelines set up a campaign - if your idea of fun doesn't match. And if that is the case, which it certainly appears to be from your posts, it's on you to alter the game for your uses (or use a different system, if you prefer that solution), but it is not anything bad about or wrong with the system as it exists that it doesn't match your preferences (just like it is nothing bad about or wrong with 4th edition that my group and I didn't enjoy it).</blockquote>
