[QUOTE="Michael Silverbane, post: 2898064, member: 38016"] I have a home brewed mechanic for doing shopping stuff, which I use if I don't see any character/story driven need to roleplay out my players' characters' shopping. I still use it when there is going to be roleplaying involved, but supplement it with whatever roleplaying stuff I want to do. For instance, if Fred the Archwizard wants to stop buy whatever town is nearby to refill his spell component pouch, then he uses the shopping mechanic (which he is pretty much guaranteed to succeed at, for such a trivial item). If the nearby town also happens to be his hometown and he wants to catch up on the recent goings-on, then I also do the roleplay between Fred and Wally the Shopkeeper who remembers when Fred the Archwizard was just Fred the Lowly Apprentice and is so proud to see such accomplishments and tickled that Fred would still remember Wally's spell component pouches after all this time and, no... His wife passed just this last winter, when the plague first came to town... but he knows that she's in good hands... and so on and so forth. Later silver [/QUOTE]
