[QUOTE="fba827, post: 220858, member: 807"] I know lots of this has already been said, but .. * Supplies (food, light source, water) are not unlimited * Precious Mage Armor and Bull's Strength Spells will start to wear off and need to be recast - spellcasters may start to get a little annoyed * If they have horses waiting outside, once or twice, have them come back to missing or dead/eaten horses - the dang things are going to get bored and wander * Plot-related deadlines -- why are they in the dungeon? Is someone waiting for them? If so, maybe that person sends NPCs as a rescue party (the fact that someone had to send help to find you is an indirect clue that the world is passing and people think you're an idiot taking forever ;-) Obviously, you have to try and keep this a little subtle or else it will be like hitting the players over the head with a stick and they may get a little bugged by your consistant harrasment of time issues. It's a delicate balance to say the least. I guess my point is, they are abusing time because they aren't remembering that time is not an unlimited resource - hence, they need to be reminded. - fba827 [/QUOTE]
