Equipment
PCs seem to thrive on "stuff" - weapons, tools, survival gear - it seems they are always looking for just the "right thing" to make their lives of adventure easier. This goes for gaming groups, as well - Gms and players spend time looking for "just the right thing" to make their gaming easier and more enjoyable. In this chapter, you'll find articles not just full of stats on equipment for use "in-game" as well as "out of game" - things like props and miniatures that can be used to enhance gaming sessions.
