POVERO Campaign OOC

[ewancummins]

Okay, start time will be sometime next month, if everyone is ready.

Who has completed a character sheet?

[Zilfer]

Pretty sure mine is done since I sent it to you. Again let me know if I'm missing anything jarring since this is my first 2e character.

You gots mine, oh EVULZ MAZZZTER

[ewancummins]

Were the sheets sent by Pm or email?

My PM box is pretty much empty. Baby hands attacked while I was marking messages.


EDIT: I see the Alhoon link. RAR file is no good on this IPAD. I cannot read it.


But what I saw last from everybody looked good. All PCs are approved, pending perhaps minor adjustments. I don't foresee the need to later anything. This is a fairly stripped down (NWPs being the only big optional rule in play) version of the game we will use. There isn't much for me to check.

Unless one of you has changed his mind, we are looking at seven level 1 PCs.

SILVER STANDARD


AFTER YOU HAVE SPENT YOUR MONEY, drop all coins left over by one denominational place as follows:

Gold becomes silver

Silver becomes copper.

Copper becomes fractional value (1/10) of copper pieces, possibly clipped, debased , or hacked apart coins. Or foreign money of little and uncertain value.


What does this mean? Are your PCs poorer?

No. Your PCs are not poorer. Precious metals are simply worth more per unit of weight than they are in the hyper inflationary D&D fantasyland default.
All actual costs in play will be similarly adjusted, with the PHB lists used as starting points and guides. Naturally, local prices of things will vary. But you can expect that a silver piece in this setting will purchase what a gold piece would in a "rule book standard" setting.

The practical effect will be that a coffer full of gold coins is a small fortune.
I don't really think the logistics of using mule trains to empty a dungeon are something I want to mess with too much in online play. Which is not to say bulky or fragile treasure items won't appear in play.


An example: Instead of costing two gold pieces, a dagger might cost a couple of silver coins.
A workman paid one silver piece a day in the standard price lists would instead be paid a one silver coin for ten days' work.

Note that many small transactions are done with barter, payment in kind, local petty currency, etc.

Rich people may deal in gold for major purchases.
General commerce relies much more on silver.

A peasant very likely never holds a gold coin in his whole life.

Letters of credit are a thing.
