That's how I determined my gold. I figured that since I haven't played 1e before we'll start out pretty much rules as written and add in house rules as we go and I get more comfortable with what's there.
DH, that's cool. I did get more response than I initially figured I would, so it does seem like a well-manned game. If you change your mind, feel free to finish up a character and jump in.
Just to check and see where everybody is at, are we about ready to begin the game itself?
Can you check the costs of my inventory here, because I had to pull a 2nd edition, OSRIC and BECMI book as I'm away from my AD&D player's manual (it was on loan). I'm going with the following:
Banded Mail (90gp)
Two-Handed Sword (30gp)
Backpack (2gp)
7x Iron Rations (15gp)
Waterskin (1gp)
Flint and Steel (1gp)
2x Daggers (4gp)
Soft Boots (1gp)
Bedroll (2sp)
Belt (5sp)
Large Sack (15cp)
Wool Tunic (5cp)
6x Torches (6cp)
Chalk (1cp)
Cloak (3cp)
