As a sideways segue to my "What year is it?" question ( http://www.alandfaraway.info/phpBB3/vie ... 83&t=52216) ...
What is the ratio between game time and RL time. In other words, how many minutes in RL does it take for 24 hours to pass on Waterdeep? Or, if it is easier, how many minutes RL does it take for one hour of game time to pass? (I used to know all of this stuff!)
What time is it?

Re: What time is it?
I've always figured on "comic book time". That is while a lot happens (even a few days sometimes) during sessions, we otherwise figure that a RL day = a game day.
In other words, don't worry about the time really.

There's a place I like to hide
A doorway that I run through in the night
Relax child, you were there
But only didn't realize and you were scared
It's a place where you will learn
To face your fears, retrace the years
And ride the whims of your mind

I think WW may be referring to game mechanics. And I’m not sure, but when it just turns 18 and I want to map the last bits of the north ward, the answer is, “too long.”
FWIW when my toon refers to a day or a tenday, I usually mean RL day or RL week. Unless within a single session, when I stick to game time.

I think it's 7 min per RL hour.

Re: What time is it?
It looks like it's 8 minutes RL.

look you, be an ass and a fool and a prating
coxcomb? in your own conscience, now?
