[QUOTE="Faolyn, post: 8478397, member: 6915329"] Personally, [USER=5889]@Stalker0[/USER], I have a hard time seeing how Busk is a [I]traveling [/I]activity in the first place, since to me busking is standing in one place playing music or something similar. I see it as more of a downtime activity. Maybe it has a different meaning than I'm used to. (I also have a hard time believing that Hunting and Gathering only nets 1 Supply on a normal success. You bring down a deer but only get one day's meal for one person out of it? I looked it up: you can get about 60 pounds worth of meat off of a deer! I might accept 1 Supply per member of the party though.) But anyway. As [USER=16705]@Stone Dog[/USER] said, each party member is supposed to do their own thing. So the entire party shouldn't be busking unless everyone in it is or aspires to be an entertainer. Anyway. The rules also say you decide how many days you're going to be doing a thing, and you roll just once, no matter how many days it is. So, like, the ranger says she's going to spend three days hunting. You roll once. On a success, she gets 3 Supply (it's one Supply per day spent) or if you're me, Supply equal to 3 x the number of party members*. You can say that she bagged one deer and got a ton of meat from it, and on the other days, she just gathered some berries and bagged a squirrel. [I]Also, [/I]I would assume you're spending a work-day (8 hours) doing this thing, not 16 hours. Walk 8 hours, then stop, set up camp, do your journey activities. If your party is so hard-up that they genuinely [I]will [/I]spend 16 hours doing one activity, take them out of journey time and into adventure time, and roleplay hunting down and killing the deer.
