A DM can just as easily say 'shell out X per day you plan to be travelling'. Don't bother with the fatigue/exhaustion until supplies run out (ie: the party travels longer than they have supplies for). If a party can keep track of the gold they spend on taverns and magic items, why is this so hard?As for random encounters, if you don't want them, DON'T USE THEM!. When you read a story, how often does an author roll to see who the characters meet next? If it doesn't enhance the game, don't bother with it.How often is encumberance really a problem? Unless your a carrying extreme amounts or are incredibly weak, carrying basic survival neccessities (blanket, torches, tools, backpack, flint, rope, etc) isn't much of a problem. Even a fighter in full armor can carry them. Mounts all but negate this as an issue. If a party found a way to solve a problem previously, assume that they will do the same if they have the equipment. How different is that from a spellcaster saying 'I cast Fly'? Both have something equipped and ready, both assume that if it worked the first time, it'll work next time (providing similar circumstances). If your wizard is scrying and planning ahead, why aren't the other players preparing?You'd be surprised how resourceful a party can be when they realize that magical healing isn't immediately available.  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" /> What were the characters doing before they started adventuring? To each their own...   <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
