Xilabar the Dice Goblin

Pfp is my #chinchilla, Muffin, begging to be let out for floor time so she can eat my baseboards. Banner picture is of my two #cavy boars, Oreo (right) and Coffecake (left), who are claiming that I have never fed them once and will soon starve to death, despite the full food bowl behind them.

    Fun story about that: last week, Muffin was running around on our futon enjoying being somewhere she wasn’t supposed to be, when she suddenly turned around, looked me dead in the eyes, and made a face I can best describe as “toddler pooping in diaper”. She left a wet spot there as big as her that soaked all the way down to the mattress, which thankfully had a waterproof cover.

    In my setting magic is superscience left over from the first age. Could be nanites in everything, could be something weirder. The players casting spells is similar to if your dog figured out how to say “Alexa, all lights on” and realized saying those magic words created light.

    Also, the aliens are going to be demons, sort of, being the children of the Fear of the Other and the Fear of the Incomprehensible. Not that the aliens or PCs would know this. So magic will work fine.

    I mean, usually my #dnd players strongly dislike tracking encumbrance, so the coins might as well be weightless.

    Something I think people tend to forget about is the practice of “free lunch”. Sit yourself down at the bar, order a drink, and you get access to a whole lunch menu as long as you keep drinking. It particularly makes sense if a pint of beer &/or a single lunch actually costs slightly less than a cp, so two beers would cover the cost.

    But it’s coins made of solid gold/silver/copper that players find in dungeons, bring back to town, and immediately spend. People bring their irl money intuition to the table when they need to pull prices out of their ass which results in tavern food costing, like, 10 gold coins per plate. Realistically, given the prices of the materials in the specie coins, I think players paying for stuff in gp should be treated like some rich fuck paying for fast food with Benjamins.
