So has [USER=16814]@Ovinomancer[/USER].And in BitD it is established that you have some stuff: you load up with a certain volume/quantity of gear.To give another example: when you play D&D, do you establish how much wood, leather, metal etc is on the shield your PC buys? What length of leather is available by taking the straps of a character's armour? But all these things can come up from time to time. When your PC buys their fresh rations, what food are they carrying? Do they have the herbs that Sam Gamgee wanted when he was cooking his coneys? Or will they have to go and search for them, hence running the risk of encountering warriors on their mumaks?</blockquote>
