[QUOTE="howandwhy99, post: 5664557, member: 3192"] Time is a major resource in my games too. Your action cost is quite like mine, but mapping isn't quite so costly. I use d6 initiative, 1 minute rounds and standard turns, hours, days, etc. An old, but once common method I stumbled upon for tracking actions is using dice as clocks behind the screen. d6 Segments (my own rules here), d10 rounds, d6 turns, d12 hours (or d24 if I had one). Then a calendar for the rest.
