[QUOTE="Musing Mage, post: 8714507, member: 7025552"] I do track time similar to what's outlined, but not 100% exactly. As written in the 1e DMG sort of assumes a West Marches style game with multiple players and characters. That said, I use the metric of time away from the table passing = to real time, but not all situations in-game allow for such a forward in time, so what I do is 'bank' the time if the scenario in-game doesn't make sense to advance the calendar. When an adventure concludes, and the players are back home with their loot - that's when XP is awarded and I forward the calendar applying all the banked time, which more often than not adds up to several months, or even more than a year when an adventure has lasted many sessions. I've found that such an advance in time works well for justifying training time, the time characters would need to find buyers for valuables, time off because adventurers want to live off their spoils for a while etc etc. [/QUOTE]
