[QUOTE="Shallown, post: 1387565, member: 1368"] as a player I loved doing but the actual doing of it was too easy for me, even as alayer, due to the campaign style at the time. Now as a GM, I think, my players get akick out of it. They can focus on developing thier characters and roleplaying by buying items as much as they can roleplaying and injecting roleplaying into combat. Just becuase it has mechanical rules/guidelines is no reason not to make it a roleplaying experience. My players seem to like the process buying or commisioning an item entails. they don't just walk into a shop and buy things off the shelf at their level. Sure they pick up common low level stuff like Wands of CLW or potions but only becuase they roleplayed through finding and developing contacts to get that stuff. I think they enjoy hunting down that wizard or dwarven clan to make that new Item or armor. I think They also enjoy the process of unloaded the items they find whcih goes much the same way in requiring roleplaying. I think they would like to be able to walk in and buy off the shelf but not as much as they like doing itthe way I run it. Later [/QUOTE]
