[QUOTE="Ralts Bloodthorne, post: 3394746, member: 6390"] What's this? You expect my character to just buy magic items, and never enjoy the fruits of adventuring? Where's the ale and whores from the legends? Did Conan lie to me that treasure == hot babes and cold ale? Perhaps if there was more to your campaign setting than Kill/loot/repeat ad infinatum, then you might understand the basic concept that PC's like to own nice stuff too. Where's he going to keep his extra equipment? in a hovel, buried under the dirt floor? Where's he going to do his research? Where's he going to store his trophies? Where is he going to frame the signet ring sealed pronouncement that he's a hero of the kingdom after stopping Lord Eviljerk? Oh, wait, adventurers should never leave the dungeon or forest, and should carry everything around in magic bags, because apparently PC's never want to enjoy themselves with some of the money. "OK, I got 10 gp left, I better buy.... a dagger! Yeah! You know the rule of the gods, every CP we don't spend on equipment is taken from our next horde!" Awww, aren't you cute, being all amused. You know, for someone who has never GM'd a game of D&D, you sure are opinionated on what makes a good game. Tell ya what, skippy, GM a game of D&D, just one, and come back and tell us how easy it is again. [/QUOTE]
