i too love a day & night cycle. but i read elsewhere.. can't recall correctly where it was but someone mentioned and explained day & night cycle couldn't be implemented was due to the turn-based.
Yeah, that makes no sense to me. Why would turn-based have anything to do with day night cycle? You going to turn based mode and time stops. Each round is only 6 seconds. So why would that affect anything having to do with the lighting in the game?
It was proposed that the day night cycle could be managed via the short rest system. Click a short rest and it switches from morning to afternoon. Click it again and it switches from afternoon to evening. Day night cycle implemented.
as you mentioned time stops during turn-based mode. so it will became weird if someone joined a battle with different weather transition. not quite sure day & night on dnd5e, does it has any rule advantage during night or day?
