I've been playing in a LMoP/Phandelver and Below game and there's been all of one time we had more than two days where we weren't doing anything particularly important. I'm sitting on a pile of cash fit for a wyrmling (something like 5k-6k gp equivalent, some in pp or ep, and that's not counting the gems and other "sell this for gp" loot), having had little to nothing to spend it on because we can't waste the several days it would take to go to Neverwinter.It really, truly isn't that hard to make "literally almost two months" not actually a viable option. Heck, I can count on one hand the number of games I've played in where a continuous, uninterrupted span of 50 days was even remotely plausible, let alone something we actually did (which would be zero, I have never once played any game where the party thought that was a remotely good or even acceptable idea.)</blockquote>
