[QUOTE="provik, post: 261950, member: 5771"] [b]Gaming Catch Phrases[/b] We've adopted the standard RPGA in our game store. "We Greyhawk him." First time I had to explain Greyhawking, I went through a long and complex explanation. "We search the entire section of the last battle and adjoining rooms, taking multiple people and taking 20. If no time for searching, mark it for later searches." "Now to the villian(s)." "We strip all pieces of non-organic metal from his body. We search for gold teeth, implanted jewelry and vital body parts. Cut, remove, store and catalog. Run detect magic over all magic items. Sort items into two lists, magical and non-magical. Broken items, we sort into two lists...fixable with Mend, fixable with Make Whole. We cast Prestidigitation to clean all items. We make checks to recall if there are any bounties on this race. Check again with wizards to ensure none of their body parts are good for spell components. If not, bury and offering condolensces to their heathenous gods. Load all loot up onto any mounts captured. Turn mounts into a congo line of livestock. Take all of this into town and sell it. Party members may buy items or accept them in lieu of using their share of non-magical wealth (after costs for identifying have been deducted). All of that, simplified with a simple phrase: "We're Greyhawking." Laugh if you want, but those Year One modules were a beee-och as far as getting enough money to live (unless you were lucky enough to get one of the massive +2 Keen Kukri's that floated around...then you were Mr. Wealthy!)
