Yeah, that’s why I’ve started liking the idea of long rests are a week of rest, with short rests being a single night.
Really makes the resources a lot more precious if you’re not getting them back during the same session. So many times of players being like, “whelp, I just burnt five spells, let’s long rest”
What I should be doing is if you’re long resting in the dungeon is having monsters show up, but I can literally see my players eyes glaze over when it’s a random encounter like that.
I feel like that’s going to do weird things to your story pacing, and possibly put your players in an unwind position.
Like maybe they’re idiots or unlucky and use a lot of resources, and need a rest. Does the plot allow a full week of the bad guys/natural disaster/whatever to do ita thing unimpeded?
The solution remains kill the adventuring day. It’s not how most players actually want to play the game.
