If you're a new DM and you're wondering what to give out, it's a great way of organizing the loot. Quick and easy, no mess no fuss, get on with playing the game. Also, if you're wanting to play in the RPGA then it's a great idea keeping everyone on equal footing.It's not so good for my table. The other day I caught one of my players ticking off the packages the party was receiving from the back of his character book. To be sure they got them all. And it did seem to me that it was breaking suspension of disbelief a bit - mine if not the players. We don't do conventions or the RPGA so we agreed to drop the parcel system and go back to more organic treasure placement.Yeah, they're probably getting more treasure out of me this way. I don't mind that, the more that tips the balance in their favor the less I have to worry about TPKs over bad dice rolls.</blockquote>
