[QUOTE="Numion, post: 1723329, member: 124"] Actually it didn't go like that - they had to stop for Boromirs funeral. They looted his vanquished enemies helmets and loaded them on the boat. If the orcs had had anything valuable, they would've taken them. One of the themes of LotR is ownership by slaying the previous owner. Thats how the one ring changed owners. And what about the prelude for LotR, the Hobbit? They looted the trolls cave, they looted the one ring, they looted Smaugs lair .. nope, no looting in the Middle-Earth, they were too busy being heroic :p Of course if you put it in meta-speak about plusses of the swords it's gonna sound different - but the effect remains. At the end of the LotR they were packed with elven magic gifts, armor from Rohan and Gondor, Westernesse blades (looted from the grave), Anduril .. not to mention the Hobbit. Bilbo obviously took part in a monty haul campaign way too high EL for his level, winning by deus ex machina. He did bring back a mule-load of money. The fundamental difference is that the characters weren't driven by gold. And if your players (and therefore PCs) are, it's also good to ask whether low-money campaign really will fit them. [/QUOTE]
