[QUOTE="Mort, post: 8647150, member: 762"] All it takes is realistic consequences. And the world moving regardless of what the players are intent on doing. For ex. If the PCs anger the Duke he'll send men after them. These men WILL NOT come on the PCs schedule and will make it a point to catch them unprepared, exhausted, whatever (they've dealt with adventurers and are not idiots). Or the fact that the Hermits big bad ritual of world destruction isn't going to conveniently happen when the party is rested and at full power. Stuff like that. Now is that always going to be the case? No, the party SHOULD get the opportunity to flex every once in a while, it's fun and shows the players what they can really do. PLUS it also lets the DM really let loose with some big stuff that he might not otherwise get to. So great all around. As for a group that doesn't like the 5 minute workday playstyle. Well, the DM can certainly, easily accommodate, though I would think (or at least hope) they get tired of it eventually. [/QUOTE]
