Give the PCs 6 (in game) hours to complete the mission, stack the dungeon with a dozen combat, social and environmental challenges, and you're done.You can then have AD's on either side of that AD with 0-2 encounters only, and the median of 6 or so per day is met (and every PC has had a chance to shine).People seem to think 'it must be 6-8 every single day' and that's not the case at all. Just aim for that as a median, with variable days scattered around and you'll be fine (and it'll actually enhance your game).</blockquote>
