I didn't want to muscle in on the healing effect of a good night's sleep, and I like the idea of some hurt from one day carrying over the next (in other words, I dislike massive deadly combat-sleep-rinse&repeat).

Where will he get another gun or ammo???<br /><br />But that's not interesting in D&D because you've already got SO MANY other options that not being able to shoot is just... fine ok I'll attack in some other way no worries.<br />Besides the fact that my players don't shoot enough for it to matter, even if they did run out it wouldn't be a big deal.<br /><br />So yea, good choices all round for both of us!James Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01728054107958411289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4436797024696330837.post-32067783784998523512018-08-28T06:56:52.937-07:002018-08-28T06:56:52.937-07:00This is an absolutely excellent post, one that eve...This is an absolutely excellent post, one that everyone in the OSR needs to read, or at least hear exists. Also, good suggestion on tracking ammo. I recently made a new setting based in the modern world, so when I gave the players guns, I just assumed that they would be smart enough to go buy and carry ammo and stopped keeping track of it, and it has worked wonders for me. So I'm glad to see someone else came to that conclusion. Anyway, good post!Yami Bakurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17266174008401745128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4436797024696330837.post-60621158014307983442018-08-28T06:02:51.369-07:002018-08-28T06:02:51.369-07:00Food tracking looks AWESOME.
