(whatever it is the players tell me they want to do), but I guess like some others, I let the players set that pace and give me opportunities to move time forward.That said, I generally only speed up time that way for a day or two at a time at most for travel. For me travel and what can happen during it, is a big part of the game - so i don't like to gloss over it too much and at the very least use it as a chance to spend 3 minutes setting the stage or establishing some element of the setting via narration before moving back to a more granular perspective as the PCs engage with whatever was described (or don't and we move on further).Downtime is another case entirely and I do try to move that forward as much as possible - but my group rarely wants to take more than 1 or 2 days of that.All of that said, I don't typically try to push the session to particular high point or event by the end (unless it is very very close) and we very frequently end mid-combat (which I personally like doing - I know that is a controversial opinion around here) b/c as I mentioned in another thread, I am not one to ever handwave the results of a combat just to make it end faster.</blockquote>
