5E Starting Gold and Equipment for Higher Levels

The DMG has a rough recommendation for starting gold and equipment for higher levels, but with my groups running one-shots, we wanted to nail it down to level by level. Here's my DMG-inspired table. Generally I allow equipment to be traded in during character creation for half book value, where applicable. I also, as a GM, offer to make custom magic items for players who can't choose.

A character's encumbrance may also incur an armor check penalty.

More Organizing

Besides an occasional game, mostly I've been organizing things in my rare spare time.  I got my hooks put up allowing me to hang my gaming bags and travel monitor.  Also, I got a pegboard framed and hung over my miniatures table.  It's all looking better and better.
