[QUOTE="cougent, post: 3917349, member: 48665"] What happened with my group was that we ended up having "ignore creep" though. Similar to what has already been mentioned we ignored specifics for food, water, ropes, lanterns, etc. until all of a sudden when a situation called for 400' of rope and a player says "I will get mine out of my backpack". At which point I (as DM) kind of squinted and said "When did you start carrying 400' of rope around with you?" PC: "I always have". DM "No, you had a 50' rope, not 400'." PC: "Well, I actually never said how long it was, I just said I had a rope, so lets say its 400'." PC's started wanting to go through aortic conditions in "Traveler's Cloaks"; Food and water were never a problem even when trapped in a subterranean cavern for 3 months; Lanterns never run out of oil, torches are always available; it just seemed to never end. They were walking Wal-Mart's and never needed to buy anything in town except new spiffy magic items and the occasional ale at the tavern. It became too much. It went from a lack of micro-management to a lack of even macro-management. [/QUOTE]
