I as the DM have almost total control of when the party can get a rest in. How can it be rare that a DM doesn't?My personal method is to use random encounters both in the wilds and in dungeons. I roll on those encounter tables(that vary wildly in CR both low and high) when people start getting bored or for instance the party wants to try and get in a long rest after only a couple of encounters. EIGHT HOURS of encounters means the party will probably exceed the recommended encounter guidelines! My guys know this and so.....will often not try and rest unless they are OVER the recommended guidelines.If they go over the guidelines I tend to forget to roll and also get very lose in how long it takes to rest.Now I know this method is just what works for me but most DM's should know what works for them right?</blockquote>
