In the interest of fun and keeping the game running quickly, in my campaigns, I usually don't make the PCs buy ammo. Sure, they need to keep track of how many rounds are left in the magazine, and how many mags they brought with them, but once they get back to home-base, (or the ubiquitous van) I usually hand-wave the whole re-buying ammo thing. Nothing annoys me more than having all the players spend 15 minutes making the appropriate Negotiation or fake-SIN rolls to buy regular 'old ammo. Not to mention math-challenged players trying to figure-out how much 5 mags worth of ammo for their Ares Predator will cost them if the price is listed in 100 round blocks. The good ammo (APDS, Assault Cannon, Explosive, anything over 4R) still needs to be roleplayed-out, but I don't find basic re-stocking to be a fun way to spend the limited table-time that we have. I call this the 'Ammo of the Day Club' and it comes free with Low lifestyle or higher. Does anyone else run this way? |
