I love Oglaf so much
Fun fact, in a Campaign I’m playing, my Fey Bard simply “stole” the Deadname of our Cleric and now she has a total of four names and it’s awesome for everyone 😄
The classic: “May I have your name?” blunder
This is priceless!
No it says right there, 20gp.
But it’s still very good price
Is it a good price though? The average wage for a commoner is 2 sp per day. The equivalent to 100 days wages for a unskilled worker.
Skilled workers earn about 2 gp per day. So this represents 10 days wages. A better bargain for sure.
Adventurers are always loaded with money, so as players our view is skewed.
have we immediately forgotten what the wizard did? i’d consider a year’s wages a pretty fucking good deal for changing the fabric of reality to suit me
Yeah, the adventurers really skew the economy. They just casually stroll up and loot hundreds of GP from an ancient crypt, awaken a long-forgotten lich, and then fuck off. It’s always up to the city guard to put down the inevitable undead army that the lich has raised. It truly is the definition of “capitalism for thee, socialism for me.”
That can be an interesting story. Adventurer with their gold coins wreck a village economy until the taxperson comes
I wonder whether an over-abundance of gold or other coins could lead to people using the gold for other purposes (such as magical reagents). I don’t know enough about how real world inflation works to speculate about how the fantasy version would work.
Damn Mansa Musa
I suspect you could do that in Mage: the Ascension (CAN YOU GUESS WHAT CAMPAIGN I AM PREPPING?!) I could see it as Prime 5/Mind 3 for super powerful blessing that makes people lose track of thought whenever they’re about to deadname you. A Mind 3/Life 2 would be less pwoerful version, you could probably add Correspondence to increase the radius of this passive effect. I do not think it may even cause too much Paradox either, it’s very Cointidental magic.
This sounds like the rpg I have been waiting for
