[QUOTE="stonegod, post: 5296938, member: 36973"] Having been on L4W since the beginning and having a variety of DMs come and go, I ended up with a PC *way* behind the "what he should have and level x" curve. That's been addressed by now, but the parcel system helps avoid this in shorter time frames. The "wishlists" over in LEB is a suggestion, but not a straightjacket. Many DMs over there do grant from it directly, but its not fixed. So long as it is within the limits given. I have seen DM give out items that don't mesh with the list but fit a matching parcel. A PC that is pushing them should have a talking too. There is some room for flexibility. Sometimes I'd really like a n+2 item when I don't have an n+2 slot. Nothing really to do about that (and the DM may not want to give me that item anyway). If they do, I've "lost" some, but this may not be a huge deal. The gold parcels are "eliminated" in the sense that they are not part of the LEB parcel system other than the 1/5 gold [b]per player[/b] (which, if you divide the DMG gold parcel totals by 5 is about what one gets out). How that gets distributed is up to the DM: It can be piecemeal or all at once. i've seen both. The DMG system works well with 1 DM, not so well when you switch between them. The LEB system is aimed to address that in a PbP environment. [/QUOTE]
