Attention to detail - gear .

[headquarters]

As a GM I sometimes ponder on the ageold GM quandry - should the GM demand that the PCs kit is all kept meticulously registered down to counting the every hole in their socks and the level of wet through of their parka ,the breakdown number on their boots and how many periods have passed since they last cleaned and oiled their weaponry -

or should these things in general be summarized more broadly by stating shipshape , tattered,worn out, serviceable etc to get game to move faster

?


if anyone has suggestions on how to best keep gear and gear status registered please post these.

I would like to hear from GMs and players alike on what they like and experiences with this .

Just want to get some prespectives .

( I like it on the stickler end myself ,maybe I can get some input to amend or enhance my style -though in all modesty ,I hardly think that is GM-possible )

Joke.
