In table top games, this is always a 'negotiating' task which requires people to check their characters, and explain their needs for this and that.
But in a PbP, it is more difficult as you can't really have a discussion like that - messages are slow going and it can take days for a person to read what is up for grabs.
So the goal of this thread is: HOW BEST to split treasure in a Pbp?!?
3x Ideas:
- Use the Loot Divider to 'tag' all the treasure, and compute the 'value' of what PCs received: The first pick goes to the one who has 'taken' the least
- Needs someone to care for the treasure list
- Will give a semblance of 'balance' to all PCs
- PC with less 'valued' items could get more Gold
- Go with optimization: someone (team captain?) examines all the characters, and 'splits' the loot to maximize the group's efficiency
- Needs someone to note all the PCs treasure
- Will likely create PCs with more items than others
- Roll a d100% on Invisible Castle to see the 'order' you can pick stuff. This might be simpler than most method.
- Very simple
- Needs to decide if this is re-rolled at each treasure, or to use a permanent 'scrolling' list of PCs (always the same order, but you pick up where the last item was taken)
Or are you aware about HOW this is done in other PbPs?
