[QUOTE="aco175, post: 9501094, member: 27385"] The only thing I recall about this. [ATTACH type="full"]385125[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]385126[/ATTACH] As a player in a game I tend to not like counting and sorting and tracking- unless there is a reason. Tracking rations in a desert when the next town is 10 days out and you might get lost loosing 2 days- ok. Tacking rations when there are towns every two days of travel, no than you. Making electrum the new gold and gold the new platinum so that platinum is now a super-platinum makes me ask for what purpose? I now need to do math in my head every time I open the book or go spend gold, I mean electrum. You say you like tracking weight and coins which is fine, but ask the players in your game and see what they like. I know players that will write 100 gold on their sheet when given 1,000 silver in treasure. I never check or track their treasure. They say that they would go to an exchanger to make it easier to carry. I found that I care less for this part and do not bother with exchange rates and taxes and finder fees for old coins. I tried before and found I cared more than the players. [/QUOTE]
