That sounds like a problem you can tackle down the road . If it were me I would play the first few sessions without giving out any magic items so I can gauge my players reaction to a lack of gear upgrades . Then if it feels like they really want upgrades and fast I ' d find an excuse to reward them with some items . Of course it ' s also possible that you discover along the way that they don ' t care as much about the gear upgrades . And if that ' s the case then your problem is solved . <| sep |> no if you like roxygen you cant like davekat those are the rules sorry <| sep |> Well , yes , but I do drive to work in literal blizzard conditions and snow emergency driving bans . I ' ve been on the freeway at 4 am when it had been unplowed with more than 6 inches built up so my bumper is plowing . Cleveland suburbs . I ' ve driven out of greater than 18 inch snow drifts from parking overnight during a storm without ever having to dig out my car after 2 winters now . Tires are more important than awd . But awd snow tires fwd with snow tires . The A 3 is as predictable as my evo x was in the snow , and way better than my 335 xdrive . I mean , on my particular car , I would get the Quattro no matter what in order to get the 2 . 0 GTI engine instead of the 1 . 8 golf engine . But the AWD is a nice bonus too .
