Is 5-minute workday thematic to fantasy, or not? I'm trying to remember any instance where heroes go through a multiple fights within a single day, and I'm comming up short. The closest I can remember is the siege of Amber, and there Corwin and Bleys both hanged back and conserved strength until the very last moment. In LotR the fights are few and far apart. I'll admit to only reading the Drow trilogy from all of the Forgotten Realms books, but I don't remember Drizzt ever having to fight all day. I'm rereading the Wizard of Earthsea, and Ged's fights are months and years apart.RelentlessImp wrote:I'm probably the biggest proponent you will ever find of ending the 5-minute workday (it's a thematic issue for me)
So is the 5-minute workday an issue that arises only in the RPGs, and not actually something that happens in the base material RPGs want to emulate?
