Let's Make Better Rpg Currencies

@rpg

https://youtu.be/VADntQSNMB4?si=VUw999G0yZ0x52IW

I'm curious what currency systems my fellow #ttrpg GMs have dreamt up when #worldbuilding.

It's always annoyed me how #dnd's gp/sp/cp currency resembles the USD system so much in the way it is used, despite the fact that IRL a single gold coin would be worth more than my car. Does #WotC think my backpack is worth $8k? That makes no sense to me.

I think I am going to steal that rule for my campaign

My favorite pastime is telling people all about skinny pigs.

@guineapigs

"Here's a picture of a scrotum with a mustache. He will never know what warmth feels like. If you want him, you're going to have to pick between his happiness and safety. If you want him to be happy and get him a friend to live with, when they argue his friend will bite him in the rump, and he's going to be constantly sick. If you want him to be safe, just get him, but he might actually die of loneliness."

Been thinking of watching the old Digimon anime. Is this a good idea? Am I about to go into debt for a new TCG?

Are there any animes or TV shows you can't stop recommending?

Does that really count as cheese, though?

Good Archfey patron for a warlock?

@dnd

I have made a Jorasco halfling warlock who is a priest of Kor Korron, which I will be playing in an #eberron campaign. (Specifically, he is a priest of Kor Korron, pretends to be a wizard among his peers, but likes to pass himself off as a cleric in public.) I am not very familiar with Thelanis, but I understand there is a fae court there. Do any of you have ideas for which archfey I should suggest to my #DM?

Are there furry #ttrpgs?

@furry

Got on a train of thought while debating What To Do With Orcs (I don't see how to fit them within my #dnd setting) when I realized that I could just have #Anthro #Hamsters fill their role. (I mean, they may be small, but I know my hampner would bite my finger off if I let him. Imagine one the size of a person) Which made me think, "Why not go all in on the furry?"

My question is, has a #furry #ttrpg been done? Like, one where you can #roleplay as your #fursona?

Used to be you could blow dust off a shelf. Now you can't. Because of woke.

Are there FOSS alternatives to Roll20?

@dnd

I did a little googling and spotted Foundry Virtual Tabletop, but I haven't been able to explore many alternatives yet. Which ones are good?

#DnD DMs of the #Fediverse: Have you ever made a PC race illegal?

@dnd

I am feeling inspired by #mcdm_productions worldbuilding where all Dragonborn have a bounty on their heads, which was set by the current king. I would like to do something similar in mine with Orcs, but I'm not sure how to handle that lore-wise.

@alvvayson Existing research was about "how do we stop the bugs from circling our lights?". This is about *why* the bugs circle the lights. It artificially triggers the dorsal reflex, which disorients the bugs.

@Afterpants It led to some very chaotic behavior from that character since

  1. Player was mature rper who valued the experience of the other people at the table and very much wanted to see how everything tied together

  2. Character was suddenly very aware that if the story ended, he would stop existing.

  3. Player decided that the character's moment of gnosis also allowed him to possess his irl body while in-character

The "nobody ever uses the bathroom in fiction unless something is sus" trope popped up in a Trail of Cthulhu campaign I ran back in high school. One of the PCs realized in a moment of Mythos-inflicted hysteria that he hadn't used the bathroom in 9 months, which led to him slowly realizing that he was in an episodic work of fiction and would stop existing when the story was over

I always love it when religious characters put the social good above their own personal power. It makes me feel hopeful.

It surely will never be used for the naughties

I actually never thought of the Dream spell as a communication tool. I wonder if I can implement a version of the Sending stone for the Dream spell in my DnD campaign. Inflicting terrible nightmares on people for fun seems like something my artificer would do

[-] Shkshkshk@dice.camp 25 points 1 year ago

Stuff like this is why sending stones are the most powerful magic item in DnD.
