The ideal length of an adventuring day
0:01
doesn't necessarily have to correlate to
0:03
how long your game sessions are. The
0:05
length of game sessions is variable and
0:07
it's not really consistent between
0:08
gaming groups. A lot of groups do like
0:10
long 4-hour sessions. A lot of groups do
0:13
shorter sessions. Like my group plays
0:15
twoour sessions because that's what we
0:17
can fit into our weeks, but it means we
0:19
get to play very consistently those s
0:21
short sessions. So tying your
0:23
adventuring day to the length of your
0:25
session can be really difficult. If
0:27
you're playing 5e, it can be difficult
0:29
to track spell slots and stuff across
0:31
multiple game sessions, especially if
0:33
you go like four sessions between long
0:36
rests, and that can be excruciating for
0:38
players because it's like, oh great, I
0:40
cast one spell at the beginning of the
0:43
month. I sure would like to cast a
0:45
second spell sometime this month, and
0:47
that doesn't feel great. So, in my
0:50
opinion, uh, a long rest every two to
0:53
three sessions at the absolute most just
0:55
so that players get to refresh their
0:57
special abilities. Um, if your group is
1:00
using the gritty realism variant, you're
1:03
intentionally making the time between
1:05
long rests very long. So it may feel in
1:08
the spirit of the way that you're
1:09
playing to have a fairly long amount of
1:12
time in real life between long rests
1:14
like even four sessions maybe in which
1:16
case yeah you're only getting your spell
1:19
slots back once a month maybe. So yeah,
1:22
use them sparingly, use them wisely.
