How Many Resources May I carry? (74)

While the game uses tags to represent resources a player should remember that one tag is actually a good deal of material for a character to carry around at one time. For example: three food tags is enough food for an entire month and is probably composed of fruits, vegetables, breads, and broadly ranging dietary staples depending on race. Because of the difference in size of a tag versus the item it is meant to represent, a character may carry a maximum of three resources on their person. This does not include upkeep tags.

For example: Thor the mighty carries three steel, while Grumsh the Everhungry carries three food. A more normal individual, Farmer Joe, may carry two food and one supplies

Any resources not carried must be left in the open or stored in a container. There are four classes of containers available (See the list below). The class the container belongs to determines the number of people required to carry a fully loaded container of that type. A class one container requires one person, a class two container requires two people, and so on. All containers above class one require a craftsman to build and some also cost resources. All containers must be physically represented with a suitable prop that fits the style of the game.

Class one, up to 6 items
Class two, up to 25 items
Class three, up to 75 items
Class four, up to 225 items

Class one containers only require one person to move and are free for anyone to build. Some examples of these containers are satchels, backpacks, and burlap sacks. A class one container must be atleast 12" on its smallest side.

Class two containers require two people to move and cost the craftsman 2 supplies to craft. It takes 30 minutes to craft a class two container. Some examples are chests, Large Sacks, wheelbarrows, travois, and canoes. A class two container must be a minimum of 24" on its smallest side.

Class three containers require three people to move and cost the craftsman 2 supplies and 1 steel to craft. It takes 30 minutes to craft a class three container and requires 1 upkeep per event to maintain. Some examples are carts, rickshaws, sleds, and crates. A class three container must be atleast 36" on its smallest side.

Class four containers require four people to move and cost the craftsman 4 supplies and 2 steel. It takes 120 minutes to craft a class four container and requires 2 upkeep per event to maintain. Some examples are wagons, large carts, and skiffs. A class four container must be atleast 48" on its smallest side.

**Special Item: Wheelbarrow – 1 refined materials, 2 supplies, 1 steel, and 1 hour to craft; plus 1 upkeep per event: This is a Class 2 container designed to be transported by a single user instead of 2 users.
