I like the loot sheet like you've done before for things, Njord. Whatever that's called, I like it.
Oh sure, you bunch of slackers don't post all day, and then when I go to gaming you immediately put up 11 IC and 9 OOC.
You're all gonna die.
So zero sum is you lose gold for loot, right?
Are we going to have a scroll fund too? I'll be honest I didn't spend a lot of time reading the discussion thread so I am not clear on how that stuff works.
How are we handling loot? Also anyone figure out how to do the 150% back on the betting? Or don't care?
Since I didn't realize I needed to purchase chips - I think we kind of skipped over that - I figured what I would have purchased for chips and worked from there. Randall didn't have a lot of cash, so I figured he had 5 gp worth of chips. He had a net loss of 6 sp, so he ended up with 44 sp worth of chips. At 150% buyback, he got 66 sp back plus his entrance fee of 1 gp.
At least, that's how I did it and our good GM did not shoot it down.
If Njord has a magic treasure-tracking sheet, I'm happy to let him track stuff.
Zero-sum was the system where you pay out what the loot would have been worth to the party. This makes it so wealth disparity within the party doesn't get too out of line and it curbs "I can use that!" syndrome.
Mine is pretty simple. You can see an example here.
I've done much the same, but a lot of games I'm in don't really care. I'm good either way. You seem to have a system the others appreciate. Really, that's good enough for me.
Works for me. Right now the highest level I've made is level 3 and that's a campaign we started at level 3 and haven't even got out of town on our first adventure.
Where is our slacker DM?
Oh, just coming up with clever ways to kill you for calling me a slacker.
Post in the morning.
The morning? That's like 8 hours away!
It's morning now.
True! It is!
Aye, so it is.... ;-)
*grumble grumble mutter*
Well you said... :P
Yeah, if you don't kill our characters right now!
So he posted, let's wait until he's ready to go to bed to post again.
Sigh. My laptop speakers just decided to die, and now I have no sound unless I used headphones, which I strongly dislike. :(
/close captions our game for the GM.
You should go post in Gameplay. :P
Oh also, I'm going to be gone most of tomorrow. Got the day off, going hiking.
request denied.
Nyuk nyuk nyuk.
Sounds cool. Going somewhere scenic?
Translation: I don't want to play anymore. Blah blah blah.
Does Rocky Mountain National Park count as scenic? :)
(I think it does!)
It certainly does! I will be there in about a month to do just that!
Outdoors are so highly overrated. All that pollen and bugs and angry grizzlies. :P No thank you. But have fun anyways. :)
You have to work to anger the grizzly, usually. Unless someone else has done the work for you, of course. Watch out for the mountain lions. ;-)
I love how they say to make noise, wear a bell, etc. because the bears value their privacy and will move away from someone making noise because they don't want to see you. A mountain lion, on the other hand, being a cat, will come see what all the hullabaloo is about because he's curious.
Just remember ONLY YOU can prevent forest fires. I know that's a lot of pressure..
You guys are funny. We don't have any grizzlies here, and black bears are pretty much harmless.
I wouldn't say you don't have ANY grizzlies. RMNP just has entrance requirements - they only allow the smart ones in (that avoid people). Yellowstone, on the other hand, has a grandfather clause, so the dumb ones still get in there.
Enjoy your hike(s) - feel free to share suggestions. We haven't totally decided our itinerary yet.
They are typically harmless until you fail a save....then you'll have other saves to fail.
And we all know how the dice love you.

Bet they give you paws for thought though....
*goes back to lurking*
Naw, there really aren't any in RMNP. :P
Though apparently they're talking about re-introducing them in the Gila Wilderness in NM... why anyone would /want/ grizzlies in their park is beyond me.
/tries to think of a way to make his raven companion a grizzly...
Naw, there really aren't any in RMNP. :P

In general, the same reason they wanted wolves back in Yellowstone. They were there first and they were part of the natural balance. With them gone, other things get out of hand. You know, like hikers and berry bushes.
Did Oladon survive the attack of the bears? Do we have a back up plan?
Maybe the bears were the backup plan.
Didn't he threaten to kill us over the weekend? I think he needed a bigger snake.
Just got home. So tired... probably going to crash early tonight.
It's 8:45 here. So..slacker.
Have a good night, seems like you might have had a good day.
Had an excellent day. I'm probably going to be up another hourish; it's a bit early to retire yet.
Where're all my slackers?
We're all busy hiking with bears today.
Oh, so you won't mind if I kill all your characters while you're away.
Hmm... if I get to hike with bears that might be worth it.
You keep threatening, yet you don't deliver.
Also, we might have a TPK in my homebrew. Which will be the second death for 3 of the people who play the game. ouch.
Sadness. :(
And I'll deliver at the proper time. Have no fear. Or rather, have lots of fear.
I will have no fear! It's the halfling inquisition!
