One of the campaigns I run is using the WotC modules, and those provide far less than what would be expected- typically five items when the range of levels would suggest 12-16, and about 1/3 the expected cash. I did figure out what the expected amount would be, and what I'm giving out is somewhere between the expected and the actual (trying to cover closer to the expected items, and typically doubling any gold values listed).My homebrew campaign, I started out anal about parcels. But, around fifth level, the characters were getting most of their experience on a diplomatic mission- not a lot of opportunities to loot when everything is owned by the orc tribe they were playing nice with. Currently they're on the run through a twisted patch of the Feywild and again, not many chances to pick up treasure. So, they're probably behind the expected value, but they're doing okay. I do have some nice paydays planned ahead, but I don't think I'll make up all the treasure they should have gotten by the book.No one in either game has been complaining that the treasure is too little, and their gear isn't so out of date that they're having problems in combat. So, I figure things are going okay.</blockquote>
