[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 6629939, member: 92511"] Yes i do this kind of descriptive vaulable "stuff". No I wouldn't dream of dropping it. It lends to authenticity and immersion and that's always a good thing. I am a little confused as to why it became an effort/issue for you/from the DM side. Other than deciding (or not even, and just rolling on some random tables), I don't need to keep track of the description or details, unless it is something that I know has some purpose or I might want to use later in which case Ill make a note as to who took what. But most of the time, once it's doled out, it's the player's problem/option. If they want to take stuff and cash it all in at the next town, or just note their character sheet as "random stuff: 300gp", that's up to them. If they want to take only art works (as a certain elvin thief PC, I recall) or are only interested in things with sapphires or pearls in it...and transferring practically any/all treasure into sapphires and pearls (as a certain blue-dressed mage PC liked to do), that is totally fine, too. It's up to the players (no real work for me/the DM) and can happen...in fact gives them a reason/forces them...to interact with the game world to do that. And, those types of players are more than willing to read back to me whatever the description of the stuff was...I don't have to keep notes on that stuff. So, no, I won't be dropping that. <roll>2,000gp <roll> Art items <roll> tapestries <personal touch/top of the head> a set of <4 PCs?> FOUR tapestries depicting an ancient battle between two armies for everybody!
