[QUOTE="Bupp, post: 6630382, member: 6784990"] That's pretty much how it works at my table. I hand out interesting things, but unless a player says "I'm going to want that", it's value just gets added to the gp total on their loot list. As for your bookkeeping, are you keeping track of it? Or just handing it out and not telling the value until they get it appraised? I used to do that, and I agree, it's more trouble than it's worth. I figure they are in the business of being murderhobo lootmongers, they know what stuff is worth. As for bookkeeping, my three players each have a role at the table. One keeps track of loot found on a master list. At the end of each adventure they split it amongst themselves, and even keep a share in the "group loot" to cover expenses during an adventure. The second is the lorekeeper. She takes notes and copies of maps and handouts and keeps track of rumors and leads. The last helps with the battlemat. I use a whiteboard flat on the table that I sketch out encounters on. He erases it, clears off minis of dead foes, and also reminds me to advance the escalation die (house rule from 13th Age).
