On some of the Dungeon message threads, we've been discussing whether and how nit-picking a DM should be - do you track arrows/bullets fired, days' rations eaten, that kind of thing. Along these lines, I'd love to see some articles on the often-overlooked or ignored details.
An article on weapons care - how many spare bowstrings should an archer carry, and how much do they cost? How long should a bow string last? How long does it take to sharpen a dagger with a whetstone? How often should it be done? How many times can it be done before the blade wears down and becomes unusable?
I'd also love to see an article on the care of mounts - there has to be more to it than you hop on your horse, ride at a gallop all day, then hop off and fall into your bedroll. What kind of equipment does a PC need to carry for daily care of a mount?
Thanks.
