[QUOTE="Crazy Jerome, post: 5813735, member: 54877"] That's usually what I do. It's up to the players to determine what is normal for them, and how they carry it, but after that we don't worry about it unless they can't restock and/or lose a bunch of supplies. Sometimes, however, we handle the actual tracking more abstractly, too. In one Fantasy Hero, D&D-ish campaign, we added a "Packing" skill. The players set the load, as above. But then when they used a lot of ammo or other resources in a short time, each character had to make a roll on the skill. Get too low, and they were running out, and had to track it formally from that point on. Roll a "fumble", and they "forgot" to pack extra or otherwise had trouble. "What do you mean, we are out of arrows? I packed six extra quivers on the mule!" "Yeah, but you didn't tie them down properly. We've still got the quivers, but there are only three arrows left in the lot of them." That was a fun way to have all the trouble and worry of tracking ammo in character, without having to fool with it much as book keeping. :D [/QUOTE]
