SavvyGoblinDo you think tracking things is fun in a low tier campaign?
(Example: rations, arrows, durability)
Yes, count them arrows!
No, never, why?!

DMSCreations@SavvyGoblin i only count ammo when access is restricted.
Underground, lost, out to sea - that type of thing
If they are in a forrest with a bowyer/fletcher or in close access to shops - its not necessary imo
Erick Veil 🎨@SavvyGoblin The tier of the game is not the important factor. It depends on the type of game you all decided to play. A dungeon crawling game of attrition? It could be fun! A courtroom intrigue? Might get in the way.
@erickveil yeah, wrong wording on my part
Ted Tschopp@SavvyGoblin I like the idea of using dice to track ammo. You have d20 ammo. Every time you use the weapon roll d20. If it’s a 1 move down the dice chain to the next lower die until d4, then use a d2 coin flip until out.
For things like money I like the idea of tracking money in such a way as you track 2 numbers, money and lifestyle. If the item is below your lifestyle you don’t subtract it from your money. Also you don’t add anything unless the money is over your lifestyle.
Steviesnap@SavvyGoblin It depends on a lot of things like how serious the low tier campaign is, if its more on the funny side or the realism time, so, yes track it if you are in that kind of group, but for the most part, just tracking arrows and not other things would work for me.

I've been reading #OldSchoolEssentials and #JonPeterson's *#TheElusiveShift*, so I'm thinking about that stuff again. In the 70s and 80s my friends and I never messed with it. Honestly, I can't say what I think, since I've never tried it.

Andrew Hamilton@SavvyGoblin I think tracking can always lead to interesting situations, but nobody wants to track 20 different things. I think 1 to 2 things like that can be fun in any level campaign without bogging things down.
