    I like to use Usage Dice for this. Instead of tracking your arrows individually, you start with, say, a d12. At the end of a fight you roll it, on a 1 or a 2 the die downgrades a step to a d10, then a d8 etc. After d4 youre empty.

    I wanna say I got this from the Black Hack?

    Fwiw I run an old-school style game. 5e is more about power fantasy

    I like it! It neatly models the variability of arrows being recoverable and unbroken.

      I just keep it on so there’s a recording of everything said that’s relevant for marketing purposes. I want the most personalized ads.

          I can tell by the downvotes that there aren’t many fans of the AI on here and that’s fine. To each their own. I’m too old to be hating on new technology like if I was born in the 1100s.

            Any kind of inventory management like arrows and food is way too sweaty and has never engaged a single player ever unless the whole point of the campaign is this exact mechanic. It’s a waste of time and energy and I don’t play with anyone that insists on doing it.

                Making fun of Luddites, as if they didn’t actually have a great fucking point, isn’t the cool flex you think it is.

                  I’ve literally typed the exact parameters of the product I want into chatgpt and it still didn’t give me what I was looking for. It can’t even do advertising right.

                    i like to borrow from other systems and treat quiver and gold as stats to be checked against. i can ask you to roll a stat check against quiver. if you fail, you are currently out of arrows and will need to perform some action to no longer be out of arrows (including long rest, just assuming part of long rest is fletching or whatever, it doesn’t need to be focused on too hard). on critical success or failure, the player’s stat can go up or down permanently, and a player can trade a wealth point for an inventory point in town.

                    generally it works really well at letting players focus on role play by not requiring them to maintain a running tally.

                      If it was just new tech, I’d be all over it. If you aren’t aware of all the issues then you haven’t been paying attention.

                      Also, why in the ever loving fuck would you use an AI just to track a number? Just use a calculator app, notes app, anything simpler than having “I have fired another arrow, how many are left now?” Lmao.

                        Why would you use ChatGPT to emulate a word processor? You get all the functionality you need without ever hitting enter.

                          The first thing I disable in every RPG.

                          Going through a dungeon and having to stop every couple of rooms to throw away stuff really loses your immersion.

                          Bonus point is that it also accumulates wealth more easily.

                            It’s because D&D used to be a dungeon crawler but nobody does that anymore, yet tradition insists the dungeon crawler mechanics remain.

                            For a game with no attachment to tradition, try Draw Steel

                                For sure! It simulates the sort of quantum uncertainty you want without bogging you down. It’s a handy mechanic for all kinds of things.

                                  Yah, a few games do this, mostly in the OSR space. Macchiato Monsters and Stay Frosty are the ones that spring to mind.

                                  Although there’s not much point in doing it unless you’re tracking travel etc.

                                        The downvotes here would make that seem like it. And it makes sense considering the damage the AI data centers are causing simply responding to mundane questions. I totally understand the sentiment but can’t help but drag the simpletons into and easy downvote spiral related to the DND comment.
