I just never found it fun to deal with equipment in RPGs; as a GM, my approach has been "if it makes sense, you have it on you." I theoretically understand the fun in it, but whenever I'm playing, the whole thing just totally disappears from my mind - for me, it's a chore part of RPGs that I always strive to minimize. However, these systems treat equipment as one of the most basic building blocks of an RPG session, which, for me, is a really big disconnect. Does anyone know problem? I'm just interested if I'm the only one out here who totally gets 80% of these games and is totally stumped by that 20% equipment focus.</p></blockquote><p></p>
