[QUOTE="Nonlethal Force, post: 3452929, member: 35788"] Yeah, the problem with my numbers is that during the game if someone says "I take that and put it with my stuff" then I take it out of the party unclaimed fund and put it with their character. So many of the gemstones that Unleashed is reporting from the mine adventure (or earlier) I already absorbed into character's sheets. As for the equipment ... it looks like Unleashed hzas the proper take on it. However, I have noticed something. First of all, the games I run are RP intensive. That is by design, and it means that characters level up more slowly. But, it also means that we are keeping track of money that may have been collected as much as 6 or 8 months ago. That can also be difficult, because I guarantee you that 5 months from now not everyone is going to remember every monetary change that they made on their character sheet. I've noticed this problem in this game, in Mightier than the Sword, as well as in the games that I have played in. I'll be honest with each of you ... I am totally much more into the RP and combat than I am in keeping track of party wealth - although I do keep track of it very dilligently. Given the long-term nature of PbPs, however, I have the following proposal: If it would be easier for everyone involved, I have a 2-part proposal: 1. Things like tips/meals/trail rations can simply be assumed rather than tracked. 2. Character wealth is automatically set at the DMG guideline for each level, and you can assume that your character has that level of wealth exactly. Now, of course this takes certain elements out of the game. It means that you don't have to worry about missing out on the +1 longsword now resting at the forcefield entrance in the depths of the mines. It also means that I won't hand out interesting treasure. Treasure would just be assumed. I'd have to think about what it would mean with regard to selling items and the like, but I am willing to consider it if you all would prefer. Just let me know your opinion on it. [/QUOTE]
