[QUOTE="Treebore, post: 3768503, member: 10177"] You know I played in two first level games this past week. One last Friday and another last Sunday. In the Sunday game we had a fighter, a Ranger, a cleric, and a thief. We rested after a major battle, then went into a cave complex, fought six zombies, then moved on, fought two medium size spiders (fortunately saves versus poison were made), continued on until we exited the cave complex and found a Citadel in a valley. We then broke out grappling hooks, rolled a natural 20 to get it through the window 35 feet up, and started to climb. The Citadel appears to be empty, but we decided against going in the front door. We did all of that without a single rest after the major battle. Friday was DCC 1 "Idylls of the Rat King". We are about half way through the second level, fought a whole bunch of Dire Rats, Goblins, and were rat Goblins, even fought 6 skeletons in a room where we found a clue about there being a vampire somewhere. We rested two times. We rested because the fighters were low on HP's, which was in turn because the cleric was out of spells. So the resource management issues were also because of the fighters lack of HP's, as well as lack of spells for our wizard and cleric. Plus the Wizard has been pretty darn effective with their crossbow. He has killed about as many creatures as any of the rest of us. We are level one or two? Level two, after all. Everyones to hit is within a couple of points of each others. So we rested very little, and when I asked if anyone had a problem with us resting (due to this thread), they said, "No, we need to recover HP's and spells." When the DM's asked how we liked the game sessions we all responded, "Great fun. Looking forward to the next session!" So I found it kind of funny that two groups of 5 or 6 people had no problems with "resource management" considering how its being debated in this thread. Just thought I would share those experiences.
