    I actually agree. She gets up for school at 5:45 and does homework all evening.

    It's insane.

    We KNOW that we can't effectively learn for large blocks of time - smaller blocks of daily learning, are much more effective.

    We KNOW that sleep is a key part of retaining and integrating new skills and information. Throwing a lot of learning at someone during the day means they can't process it all during their sleep, so the sleep will maybe benefit one topic, but not all. And no way to chose the most important topic to process. Plus, when you're this tired, you're clearly not getting enough sleep, which means less learning processing.

    Where's the time to actually, y'know, live your life? Even if you memorize more facts, what other actually-necessary skills are you missing out on? Especially social skills?

    It worries me.

This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
