Mechanics (Gold and Phase System)

[Kcdaspot]

How about something like a two coin standard?

Silver peices called bits and then gold peices called, well, gold.

Like 8 bits in a gold peice.

[Kcdaspot]

I imagine like small wooden weapons or small weapons of little quality would be worth one gold and some bits. A shield of equal quaility about the same.

I guess the main thing to talk about is what goods would player characters produce and how that would effect commerce overall.

Also how the bazaar would work as well if there is one.

[Kcdaspot]

Hell how do they make the goods in the first place needs to be talked on.

[Kcdaspot]

I like this.

[Kcdaspot]

Hmm how would young characters be so overpowered.

Through phases you could just get what you want exactly. If you choose to have a younger character you don't have that ability or luxury as the case may be. Is there a way you can prove that younger characters will benefit more in the longrun than older ones?

[Kcdaspot]

Yeah, we shouldn't compare how much a sword costs today with how much it'll cost in Amstaad. A better product to compare it with would be the cost of a gun today. Also, the cost of a full suit of armour during the middle ages was comparable to the cost of a car today. So around 20,000 for a good set of armour, but that's a

good

,

full

set of armour. An old, rusty set would cost the same as an old, rusty car. Light armour such as leather or fur would cost much less, maybe as much as a golf cart.

This doesn't and shouldn't mean we are basing the gold system on or loosely around the USD.

[Kcdaspot]

Can we like NOT go for total realism? I mean FFS we got magic. MAGIC.

[Kcdaspot]

Its called "fantasy" for a reason.

I think we should just focus on what pays what and then base what you can get around that.

This should be more income based for accessiblity purposes especially if you aren't familiar with fate at all.

Like me.

[Kcdaspot]

Gold system should tie into the quest system..blah blah

There should also be like some good gold sinks to counteract yadda yadda

And you should allow people to like grind pelts and stuff like that on the outskirts of the city rabble rabble

[Kcdaspot]

This could mean it could take MONTHS for a semi decent sword.... hold up is there a limit to what our characters could bring into amastaad?

[Kcdaspot]

So where does the 100 gold thing figure in?

Pedit: so instead of money per se we have gold levels?

Also: Yawesome

[Kcdaspot]

Just go with something and stay on it for like a month and then tweak the fuck outta of it goddamn.

It doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to make cents. (Seewutididtherelol)
