I'd like to do that, but I'm currently running my game online, so
physical cards are out. You'd think, what with everyone having their
sheets stored electronically, it'd be dead easy to track stuff, but
apparently it isn't.

Mind you, as one of the items that the group swore up and down they had,
because it was given to an NPC, well they hadn't told me about it, even
the guy who makes a huge fuss about wanting to know all these details
(including for NPCs, some of whom he has no business knowing everything
about). I suspect he overlooked the gear, and is trying to get it on the
list retroactively. If he doesn't send that list of stuff they've loaded
NPCs down with, their party won't have it. Guess the gremlins got it.
