[QUOTE="redrick, post: 6630460, member: 6777696"] When I recently played a PC for the first time in a long time, I realized how much, as a player, I enjoy tracking my resources. It really adds to the immersion of the game for me to think very concretely not only about what my character is carrying, but how much. I like to imagine my PC rooting around in his pack to pull out his day's rations (and I know what kind of food he has), or emptying the last drop of his water bottle. As a player, all I really have is that one little character, and I can really get into the details of what he is doing, how he is doing it, and how he feels about it. It's a big part of the joy of the game for me. As a DM, of course, I don't pay attention to any of that stuff. I've got a whole world of people to worry about, and I have very little head-space for worrying about resources and the like. I am trying, however, to encourage and support players who do want to track their supplies, and meaningfully engage with them on that level if I can. [/QUOTE]
