Would handing your party 1,000 gp at character creation break your game?

[QUOTE="ccs, post: 8334143, member: 6803664"] Pfft. No. I've given out far far more than that via random dice rolls.... A few years ago I gave a 1st lv party a [I]Portable Hole[/I] containing [I]"Roll on all categories of Treasure Type H"[/I]. For those of you wondering what that is? It's the best treasure column in 1e. It's what dragons wallow in - assuming the %dice roll well of course. The one character found it on the body of a passed out NPC party goer at an all night bacchanal they were attending. Well, actually they found the body - and then decided to see what the guy had in his pockets.... Wich resulted in "Draw d5 item cards from the Items Deck" (a 100 card deck I made to represent random things they could find during the party). They drew 3 cards - a masterwork ball-gag, 1lb of powdered blue narcotics, and a card titled "LOOT!{draw a tile out of the scrabble bag & roll on the matching 1e treasure table}". Wich led them to drawing the H. The %dice were quite generous & yielded both $$$ & magic items. The 3 magic items of true note generated were: *Portable Hole - wich we decided was being used to hold the rest of the H hoard. *Amulet of the Planes *Cubic Gate The later two we combined into one item of possible Gnomish origin. [SIZE=2]{Oh Gods, it's Gnome-tech! Run! Duck & cover! Do NOT push that button!!}[/SIZE] You stumble out of the bacchanal the next morning as 2nd lv characters still in possession of a careers worth of loot + 2 insanely powerful magic items? Rock on! I'm all for seeing how this game develops. There's certainly going to be a story.... So no, a Spy Glass/1k GPV isn't going to break my game. [/QUOTE]
