Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sir Whiskers" data-source="post: 909440" data-attributes="member: 6941">Just a few ideas:1) Is the party a group of heroes, i.e., good-aligned? If so, create a scenario where good npc's need to be equipped - a temple that the party has reclaimed, but was completely sacked and the original clerical order needs help rebuilding/re-equipping, or an adventuring group the party rescues, but had all their equipment stolen, etc. IMC I've found the players tend to be very generous with excess items, even magic items, if there's a reasonable excuse for it. 2) Parties tend to acquire lots of the same items (+1 weapons and armor, wands, cloaks, bracers, etc). If they only get a maximum of half value when selling these items, the total party wealth will eventually balance out. Also, since they don't get full value for these items, I find players are more willing to donate them (see 1. above).3) I don't know about your campaign, but I have no problem running encounters with little or no treasure - in fact I sometimes have trouble including significant treasure, depending on what the party is doing. As long as the party is facing a decent number of unintelligent opponents, you can cut back on the amount of treasure given for a while without being heavy-handed about it.</blockquote>
