[QUOTE="Scurvy_Platypus, post: 5317049, member: 43283"] *cough* Errr.. I don't think I actually said what I thought E6 was. :) Just that the way the game is structured, the expectations of many players, and the overall push of many adventures all expect that the game style changes in a particular way over time. IF people play/run the game in an "evolving" fashion, then some of the gold/item issues will take care of themselves I think. IF people run a frozen hack-n-slash (ie killing things and taking their stuff is the primary activity), then yes I think there can definitely be problems. That's mainly what I was saying, as well as pointing out that there are options. Me? I think E6 is all about making the game yours. You spent the money on the books, you're running the game, screw what everyone else on the internet thinks is the "right" way to play and run the game, screw what the company says you should be doing. Do what works for you and your group. Lot of folks came to E6 because they wanted to clamp player's choices so that "game ruining" spells like teleport weren't around, as well as liking the weaker levels of the game.
