A cheap alternative to Campaign Coins

[Morrus]

One thought to consider, to keep from having to truly horde up all the money a party of PCs will ever earn, is to setup a form of banking or storage, such that a player can hand you 1,000 GP and say he stores it in his treasure vault at the castle or some such.

Yup, we have "bankers drafts" in the form of EN Publishing's FANTASY MONEY.

How far are you going with the real props for gear thing? Rings, wands, rods and staff?

I used a card system for my own PC's gear. it worked alright, but in some ways was more cumbersome than the traditional char sheet.

We use Paizo's Item Cards. They work perfectly.

I forget if you linked where you ordered the plastic money and gems from, but it sounds like you found a pretty good cheap source.

Little place called eBay.

This is the update on the handout I plan to give the players at the start of the campaign. I'd be grateful for any thoughts.

One a slightly related note; two years ago when we ran the dragon adventure in True Dungeon it took 62 5 gallon buckets of TD tokens plus plenty of props (to include 1 giant red dragon egg) to amass Smoak's horde. She was one happy dragon.

For those that don't know about True Dungeon tokens, they are roughly the size of an American Kennedy Half Dollar (or a regulation poker chip) and weigh about 8oz. each (they are a plastic coated iron blank). So the weight of that was incredible and a pain in the butt to load on the trucks, unload and carry to the horde sight, dump, arrange and then after the event at GenCon re-load on the trucks and unload in the workshop. But it sure did look pretty.

Morrus, I have visions of you rumpus room eventually looking similar.

Without playing it I couldn't tell if there are any immediate loopholes or problems, but what you have here looks stellar to me. Easy to read, understand and follow. Good job, Russ!
