I had a guy break down because I didn't use a moneyless system>let's have a guy, call him joe>joe always picks up accounting duties for the group>tracking loots, currency, potions, etc>people sometimes joke he's the party mule>never think much of it>switch over to new system>there's some skill that represents money>Doesn't feel like what I want>give players a bunch of currency instead>after the third or so transaction, Joe snaps> asking what's the point of using this system if we're just going to play loot tracker again>he's apparently sick of getting nickeled and dimed over everything>doesn't want to be the only one having to do accounting every game>dude's getting fumedAs far as I can tell, he's mad to count coins and that we all jab him on it a little, why get pissed over such a small change
>>97685776>guy who has to count all the beans his group picks up>group plays new game that promises no bean counting>group changes the rules just to have the beancounting that usually falls to him>he gets upsetseems valid to me bro
>>97685776> asking what's the point of using this system if we're just going to play loot tracker again>he's apparently sick of getting nickeled and dimed over everything>doesn't want to be the only one having to do accounting every game>dude's getting fumed>why get pissedHis reasons seem pretty cut and dry to me, OP.
>>97685785This is why knowing what you'll be playing, or even if you'll be playing, is important.It's just like being promised a game, and then not getting to play a game, because the so-called GM wants to tell a story for hours on end, and the players just want to make retarded voices at each other.Be upfront with what the activity everyone set aside time for is.
>adding currency to a system that specifically has no money and replaced it with an alternative that probably has very little balancing behind it.I understand the crashout completely.
>>97685776>I had a guy break down because I didn't use a moneyless systemInstead of inventing stories why not just ask the question?
>>97685776>Break downwhat does this mean lol. was he crying, sobbing because he didn't like the change or was he rightfully frustrated because he felt he was the only one doing something that should have been a group effort?
>>97685776>be Joe>constantly given shit over the thankless task of tracking inventory for the group>its rough, but somebody's got to do it>finally get to play a system where this bean counting is completely irrelevant>finallyfree.jpg>GM immediately upends this shit>beancounting is immediately returned>right back to where I started>the least empathetic people in the world all jump down my throat>'what do you mean you don't like tracking every single cumsock we purchase?'
>>97685776>force a guy to do boring drudge work>mock him for doing boring drudge work>pick game with no drudge work>rewrite it to have drudge work specifically to make the guy do it>why is he mad?Joe could have handled this better by not being a doormat and doing a job he didn't want as part of the game, but you're a retard and a faggot.
>>97685776You're a retarded faggot with DnD brainrot. I hope Joe finds a better group to play with.
>>97686224>>Break down>what does this mean lol.He sat down and smashed OP's chair.
>>97685776What game?
>>97685776Moneyless system suck balls but my players are all happy to play accountant
>>97685776That's our Joe, haha!
>>97687916Joe was secretary, not accountant.His currency was people, not coins.
>>97685785Yeah seems like OP is retarded
>>97686552laughed out loud at this
>>97685776Joe should just stop tracking shit for everyone else.>How much money did we make, coin boy?>gee I don't know. maybe take some notes next time shit headis how every single session should go from now own.Also your group sounds like a bunch of pricks, tell joe to come to my table instead. We respect and admire the noble spreadsheet master.
>>97685776Tell players if they don't count their money themselves, they won't have it.Done.
>>97685785fpbp
>>97691798Whenever the DM asks how much cash I have I say a gorillion.Done
>>97692803I actually did make this mistake>party working for a dude who is paying them a flat sum plus expenses >didn't track what party was buying myself >New system so not really familiar with what is reasonable >when dude asks what their expenses were just believe them >once encounter with dude is over they bust out laughingThey scammed the me and the guy at the same time. It was funny enough and my mistake so I completely let them off the hook. They still bring it up all the time. I improved my bookkeeping significantly after that though
>>97685776>I can't be bothered to track money so I make one of the players do it>I never bother thinking about it lol, it's his problem>We switch to a game with a skill instead of money system>This makes me sad, it was that player's job to do that tedious work so I re-add money and tell him it's his job to do all that work so I don't have to think about it>He says no>Whyyyyyyyyy??? What is this guy's problem???Hrmm. I Wonder OP.
Adding money to a moneyless system is dumb but tracking currency is cool, I don't know what is that guy's problem with that.
>>97685776OP needs to find a jewish player, simple as.
