Luke didnt have time to leave the battle of Yavin and sleep overnight before coming back and blowing up the Death Star the next day any more than Han had time to fall back overnight to shut down the Death Star 2's shield generator, Frodo didnt have the luxury of just staying home for a bit longer and chilling out while Sauron sat on his hands, and SF Operators overseas cant just clear a few rooms of a hostage compound, bugger off and rest for a few hours, then come back to finish the job.I cant just go on holidays forever, or delay that project for work. I cant turn up at whatever time I want in the morning, any more than I can take 4 hour lunch breaks.So many DMs totally never turn their mind to temporal constraints, and they exist in fiction and in the real world, constantly.I personally find an adventure where time is not of the essence, to be not only boring but also frankly lazy and unrealistic.</blockquote>
