I have seen it said that they dont like CQ because a gamemaster could say: You
encounter a dragon, he eats your party and your all dead.

So, here is an example i just mixed up.

Below are example transactions between players and the GM. I have not gone into
explicite detail with all the Charicteristcs etc., but this is just an example.

In here I am refering to: Leader is well the leader. Player2 is behind the
leader, and so on.

This takes place directly af7ter you have gotten a party.

GM: You have collected your party and are looking around the MM. To your right
is an Armory, a leathersmith, and a wagonshop. To your left is a clothing store,
a master sculptor, and a magic clansman. Where do you wish to go?
The GM gives you links to all the shops.

Leader: I am going to take a look at the armory. I buy (and so on and so forth)
Player2: Im going to go explore some art. I buy (so on and so forth.)
Player3: Since im a wizard, I go to the Magic Clansmen, buy (Items) and attempt
to talk with him. I ask him if he knows anything of the way North.
Player4: Im going to go check out the wagons. I buy (certain wagon).

GM: your gold is deducted. You add the lion figurehead and the large banner to
your wagon and those items are added to your collective inventory. The other
puchased items you add to your own personal inventory.
The magic clansmen is named Nuhcok. He tells you that he once explored that way
and met a particularly bad band of horrible grey-skinned things that teleported
around with wicked swords. There is plainlands first, then a desert, and then a
great unpassable range of mountains beyond that. He says that Riches, water and
ore alike run free through the mountain range, that large amounts of blasted
Stone is avalible in the desert and that there is no finer place to plant many a
garden.
He says that if you plan to travel that way, you may be able to help the city
drasticly, but that the driving sleet makes the passage through the great
mountains horrible, and that between that and the grey beings, an encampment
might not survive….

You continue down the street and another amount of shops comes into view…on your
right is a….

And that is how buying items in the MM would be possible and that also shows a
transaction between players and a GM.

I will soon be posting an exploring example and a battle example.

All comments are welcomed.
