[QUOTE="Systole, post: 6174751, member: 93930"] I don't think we need a hard-and-fast rule, but I think we should remind and encourage GMs to include appropriate loot. I say this because left to my own devices, I tend to forget. And while we are voting ourselves a pay raise, the thing is that DMCs are a type of currency, and in order to encourage people to keep acquiring currency, the currency has to be able to be exchanged for nice stuff. This means that the people who don't have currency will have stuff that is not quite as nice, QED. The question is, what is nice enough to be worthwhile without being so nice that it's gamebreaking and irritating to the people who don't have it? I think the extra sleeper characters are a perfect example, because people who don't have the time to GM don't have the time to run 3 characters. The thing that I worry about is that we're talking about a linear investment of DMC, but cost-per-bonus increases exponentially. It makes the math harder, because what's fair at one end is not quite as fair at the other end. I'm honestly on the fence about what and how we should implement, and I think I'm going to sleep on it for a few days. There isn't a rush to git-r-done, is there? [/QUOTE]
