This simply isn't the kind of bookkeeping my players enjoy, so I don't see a need to enforce it. Now, crossing a desert or if the local water supply has been tainted in some way... that's when it may come up as a temporary, but important part of the game. Otherwise it simply isn't fun for my players and we play to have fun. Rations are somewhat similar or not somewhere between tracked and hand waved. Before setting out on a long journey the group will figure out how much they need, factoring in things like characters who can adequately forage for food, and determine how much they need to buy, but the the actual rations won't get tracked after that since the assumption is "We eat them as needed." Temporarily adding them to a sheet and then marking them off again shortly after doesn't add much to the game for us, so... we don't do it, again unless there's a special situation that makes it more meaningful than it would be otherwise.To those who enjoy this sort of thing though, the more power to you, I'm sure for some groups it really adds to the immersion.</blockquote>
