[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 7420368, member: 996"] Sure - but if you have a hard-reset between encounters, like the last ed of Gamma World did - then events might unfold a little oddly, too. If your recent experiences & challenges make no impression on you, at all, that's likely to be at odds with some those (or other) elements, too, no? True, it's a constraining approach, but it does allow for some tension between urgency & preparation. On one extreme, pacing is irrelevant to play as well as balance, at the other, pacing is dictated to the degree that you don't (or do, in the case of the classic 5MWD) want to wreck balance. Ideally, depending on exactly what you're going for, you'd want the potential for tension in pacing, so pacing has a meaningful, but not overwheliming impact on difficulty, for instance, without the worry of significant imbalances among the PCs, as well.
