    The Caller and the Mapper

    some groups have players with small bladders, need for smokes, or have to take calls from kids or work. a substitute Caller, Mapper, Party treasurer to keep the flow going helps. but most times the referee can just call a 5 minute break for the group to help take care of business. it also helps...

    the way i mostly encountered wealth by level was in character creation. when the DM wanted us to created PCs at higher than lvl 1. or when the DM used it for figuring out if an NPC had the wealth required to have what we wanted to buy and such. but yeah, i agree with Lanefan mostly.

    The Caller and the Mapper

    likewise someone mapping helps the party recall past adventures. even years (in game terms and real life) later. yes, some referees like me pull modifications to old sites. restocking them when abandoned. restyle them too. since obviously the previous tenants didn't fair so well the way it was...

    So you enter the "Magic Shoppe", and inside you see...what ?

    depends on where the party is in the campaign world. some areas have more magic than others. mostly they have a church/synagogue/temple/ place of worship to visit, a place that makes and repairs armor and arms, a place that sells trade goods, and a market. in any of these items can be randomly...

    i've noticed it since the introduction of Supplement I Greyhawk (1975) bonus above +1 and other things added. the introduction of the power gaming creep. i still blame Gary for letting his scions unleash it.
