[QUOTE="Chupacabra, post: 3212876, member: 17708"] Do you require your PC's to account for every last meal and mug of ale? Do you simply charge them a weekly or monthly "upkeep" fee? Or do you just let it ride? I have always simply let the players hold on to their coins and I never bothered subtracting for anything short of "I buy a round of drinks for the entire tavern" or some kind of truly epic pub crawl. I never bothered with charging for mudane clothing or things like that either. Although I do like the Conan RPG rule that goes something like this: an adventurer is going to blow through 50% of his ready cash in a month. In two months, he or she is flat broke (again). Provides a good motivation to go out and risk your neck and adventure some more. This is based on the fact that in the Conan stories Conan frequently started each new adventure with nothing but the armor on his back, a sword at his side and a flat coin purse (despite the fact that in the previous adventure he stole a fat sack full of gems or some other rich haul). So, do you make your players break out the Excel spreadsheet and track each day's expenses, or do you let them sit on their untouched piles of gold? [/QUOTE]
