Plot Item Left Behind.. how to prevent?

[vonzuben]

However, I usually set my scenarios up so that the item can be regained in the proper way anyways, and all these backpacks do is give later players a shortcut that makes them miss part of the scenario.

Yup exactly same deal for me. Not only does it give them a shortcut, but it creates confusion. Oh well so far it’s the only problem I seem to have. I find the ring much less buggy than the rep it’s got. Everything works as intended.
