I'll get on that. How does speeding up your game equal me railroading the storyline of my campaign? Of course some time is spent in down time chatting with each other or talking to NPCs or shopping or searching. But I get to play D&D 5 hours per week. If 2 of that five is spent on them searching for traps, so that they aren't ready for the fourth trap, that seems like a waist of time to me.  Also, You may have missed but an encounter, combat or not, can happen while exploring. And if it is a fun encounter, that's great! Why I wrote this article is that I noticed the vast majority of encounters that DMs had during exploration were boring, uneventful, and had no consequences and therefore didn't matter. They were just time waists until we figured out the DM's answer to getting past them.</blockquote>
