[QUOTE="swrushing, post: 1274198, member: 14140"] First things first... IMO and IMX the Gm should keep his nose out of the issue of party treasure division. if you had been divvying loot and fine with it, then there should be no "the Gm said..." Second, my game of three years just concluded and they divvied loot all the time and they never, not once, calculated the value of the loot before dividing. They gave out loot based on whoi wanted it and who could use it and then sold the rest. often items would be passed around several times to whoever needed them at the moment. In the event that more than one person wanted an item and no easy decisions was made, they would vote. That was pretty much it. AFAIK there was never any "well so-n-so got this much more than me last time, so..." type of accounting EXCEPT that on occasion when there were two people wanting the same object one would say on his own accord "well we both could use it but since I already have this... you take it." There is nothing intrinsically good about going to the trouble of trying to match up GP amounts on a haul by haul basis. You will likely find that it is not uncommon for the mass of one haul is tied up in one item. [/QUOTE]
