[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 7457946, member: 29398"] You might want to take a long look at this, however, as it can in a small way help solve your problem. Instead of having everything heal on an overnight rest, make it take longer. Much longer, if needs must. This alone can take what would have been a three-day dungeon-crawl adventure and spin it out over a few months: they keep having to wait to recover, and-or go all the way back to town for healing or new recruits. With this, you could have a summer campaign season (a short string of adventures each taking a month or so to complete) and a winter downtime season where they take half a year off. Don't you already carefully track time etc. within your game world? This can put some interesting choices on to the players/PCs if the by-date deadlines are used, however: a PC is tied up until May 15 but on May 2 a messenger arrives in town requiring brave adventurers NOW. Does the PC abandon what she's doing? Or does the party wait for her, and leave on the 16th or leave without her on the 3rd? [/QUOTE]
