[QUOTE="Echohawk, post: 5069532, member: 9849"] Once, many years ago, I had all my players bring physical items with them to a game which were roughly the same size/weight as the gear their characters had. An encyclopedia to represent a spellbook, a broom for a polearm, sleeping bags for... well... sleeping bags. These were characters who had been adventuring for some time, and who had accumulated a lot of stuff on their character sheets, so after everyone had arrived and lugged in all of their gear, it filled nearly the entire floorspace of the room. We played that entire game using the make shift gear as props, with much glee, and at some point during the adventure, the group was resting (with all of their stuff), in an abandoned building. One of their enemies had tracked them to their hiding place, and set fire to the building while they slept. The alarm was duly raised, and the heroes had only a limited amount of time to grab what they could and flee before burning beams came plummeting down on them. The wizard grabbed his favourite spell book, the fighter his magic sword, the bard his favourite cloak and scroll case of half-finished ballads, and so forth. Moments later, standing outside, they watched the building collapse, destroying all of their remaining possessions. Despite the significant losses their characters had suffered, the players thoroughly enjoy the situation and proceeded to role-play the situation to the hilt: "My scrolls... all my scrolls were in the scroll case I left behind!" "Never mind your stupid scroll case, I just lost my folding boat." "Um, did anyone grab the satchel with all our maps and the valuable property deeds we were given a few towns back?" "*&$%! I grabbed the wrong spellbook. The [i]wrong[/i] spellbook. This one only has cantrips in it..." For the rest of that campaign, those adventurers got into the habit of travelling light, and not hanging on to equipment that they didn't use. Instead they made regular donations to a museum in their home town, and as their fame grew, they took great pride in having exhibits of items associated with their adventures being displayed for all to see.
