The idea for posts makes sense. The rest period thing should be limited by logic though, so that people can't write a single post saying they gathered a billion different supplies or built a stronghold surrounded with traps. Maybe say that based on some roll to do with survival and speed and whatnot, each player can gather a certain amount of supplies/do a certain amount of non-conversational things in a given rest period. Without something like that, rest periods are gonna be ridiculous game changers rather than RP breaks.

Well, yeah. I plan on posting a "What Must be Rolled" list before things get started, and those are a few of those things. I would keep a strict eye on it so no one suddenly goes, "I JUST TORE DOWN A TREE AND MADE ALL THE BRANCHES ARROWS." The Rest Period is mainly for character development, non-combative character interaction, and exploration.
