Let the player sleep through days without skipping story events

When a player rests for several days at once, events planned for those days can vanish, fire in the wrong order or fire twice. Here is how to catch up exactly what was due, in order, including the follow-up events those events cause.

Why this works

Time that jumps is not a single moment but a stretch, so the question is what fell inside it. Taking everything due up to the new day, in order, and letting follow-ups join in, keeps the world's story intact whatever the player skips.

When not to use it

Skip it when the world does not move without the player, as in a game where time stands still between visits. There, events wait for the player's arrival, and a catch-up would show things that never needed to happen.
