Fecal Matter Happens

A few 3 x 5 cards can make a huge difference.  You have a pouch filled with paper and cards.  How long does it take for you to dig through it to find the right item card for that wand/potion/item that dispels magic or heals the victim?  The time spent digging can be costly.  I used to carry paper for notes, but they kept getting tangled up in my headbands and other things so I got rid of them.  Also... they fall out when I would be pulling out other items from my pouch.  That has been my experience.  Maybe not the same for others... but I can understand why someone doesn't want to carry a lot of stuff in their pouch.

As for the pen/quill... I carry a pen for writing on my character card for OOG mechanics and Marshal stuff. I have to carry a pen.  Not everyone does.  After a fight, and the marshals ask for folks to mark off their cards, how many folks do you hear asking for pens?  I tended to hear a lot.  Or when there is learning/teaching going on... I keep hearing folks ask for pens...

Yes... they are cheap and not a huge deal, but not everyone carries one, is what I am saying.

Thats said, I agree that Charlie was lucky the little broken piece was even put next to the knight. There are a number of legitimate reasons why the situation could have been much worse. I doubt that anyone intended maliciousness, otherwise the broken piece wouldn't have been picked up in the first place.

OK, now you guys can continue your conversation about pens and small pieces of paper...
