Twilight2013 starting equipment scarcity

[headquarters]

Depending on the scope of your game-

if the players are dedicated they will like the challenge of trying to improve their lot through better gear

gives the gm a lot of momentum in the group to keep things going.

after all - many players tend to say "naaaahh.. my PC is loaded with gear and rations I don not hink I will come to the villagers rescue..I got all I need right here"

Doing good deeds or indeed evil ones through GM generated missions is moe likely to get underway if the party lacks for means and can get booty from the job.

Yes.

I mean booty as in loot / payment.
