[QUOTE="jasper, post: 7120873, member: 277"] Captain Zapp…The secret that so few people want to acknowledge is that all these "the princess gets eaten in three days - hurry!" storylines are really completely arbitrary, and I dislike a game that forces me to come up with arbitrary thinly-disguised limitations…… So you okay with a gnome king hiring a green goliath and a druid who loves to wild shape into a donkey to save the princess. Meanwhile the princess just stays in the dragon guarded castle till rescue comes. We will not talk about how the princess gets food, water, or clothing. We will not talk about how good her makeup and hair dressing skills are either. CapnZapp, you COULD write your own adventures and submit them to Adventure League, WOTC, Third party in which you handle the issues with resting. It sounds like CapnZapp wants an extra paragraph inserted into every module on how to EXACTLY handle resting. And gives suggestions on what to do. HMM I think that should be in the players guide under the dm section. Since DDAL06-01 A Thousand Tiny Deaths got the standard verbiage down to 2 pages. Into, Adjust, before table, playing the dm,(that was page 2) and Background, overviews, and hooks (page 3). Which is much better than DDAL05-01 5 pages of verbiage. Back in 1E resting was a problem too. 1 on 12 isn’t going to come up much during 8 hours downtime. And if as a DM you kept throwing monsters at them during the rest they were going to ask when they killed all the wandering monsters. I did like T1 Temple of Elemental Evil because it gave a reason on why the monsters were restocking, and a chart. At the time I was enforcing training times and it was interesting when the pcs discover after a month out of dungeon they had a lot of do over work. [/QUOTE]
