[QUOTE="Erechel, post: 7226061, member: 6784868"] I have to disagree here. There is a simple enough explanation of why it isn't satisfying to have one "adventuring day" longer than a gaming session: dramatic tension. Most groups don't engage in more than 1 session per week, if they are lucky. Specially when you are older and have other compromises, a party sometimes has problems to meet again. Needless to say, one character present in a prior session (During the same adventuring day) may be not present in the next one. And this has consequences. You can't build dramatic tension if a given session is less than half an adventuring day. You'll have days that last for weeks or months. And you need a simple structure to allow you to resolve a "day" or an small adventure in one session. You can't have a proper climax if you are planning for a "day of adventure" and you stop at noon because there is actually midnight in real time and everyone should go home. [/QUOTE]
