Interesting…I played quite a bit of 1E Stormbringer (also some 3E/4E) and I don’t remember it being an issue. Of course, characters died so fast, you know…<br /><br />[but NO encumbrance system at all? I’ll have to go check my copy of the rule book. Aren’t demons of transport restricted by weight? I think you’re definitely right to use SIZ as a metric, by the way]<br /><br />Regardless, I think that MOST of the thoughts I’m penning here are applicable…it comes down to world building. You can certainly flesh out the Young Kingdoms with stuff PCs want to buy. Elric operates as a mercenary so often because he’s in NEED of coin in the YK (can’t get wire transfers from the Dreaming City). And Moonglum is always hustling and scrounging for cash. Totally fits the setting.<br />JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03263662621289630246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-57574407679058609332022-02-02T16:45:13.204-08:002022-02-02T16:45:13.204-08:00Great post!

Working on another about gear reliability & price, you've echoed lots of my thoughts, means I'm on the right track.Tedankhamenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00181643018957592969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-8275233215524107762022-02-02T02:32:39.935-08:002022-02-02T02:32:39.935-08:00You’re welcome!

Got a speeding ticket in Spain once.<br />; )<br /><br />I think it’s less about penalizing the players and more about incentivizing them…making it worthy their while. Have NPCs treat them better if they’re dressed better. Subtly change their retainers’ attitudes (complaining about worn out gear, etc). Have a wainwright sell them an extra wheel “because the roads are really bad” and then have that spare come in handy. Make the weather miserable…heavy snow, driving rain storms…then offer them a chance to buy better apparel (heavy cloaks, otter skin capes, wool mittens/hats, etc.). Have a random pack of goblins ADMIRE their heavy cloaks and offer to trade them valuable information (and safe passage) in exchange for one or two.<br /><br />Get you players to have the mindset of a person in the game, and they’ll start looking for ways to invest all that capital they’ve acquired. And it’ll make for a richer game world and deeper play experience.JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03263662621289630246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-53703930112769561972022-02-02T00:11:44.541-08:002022-02-02T00:11:44.541-08:00'And gas is more than $50 a tank right now, wh...'And gas is more than $50 a tank right now, which sucks unimaginably.'<br /><br />Here in Spain this is the norm since... 2002 or so. Now it's even worse. But this is not a post to complain about the economy of my country, sorry!<br /><br />I was the person that asked in the Noism's Discord about the brutal fortunes that PC's need for leveling up, so I'm thankfull of this post! You reallu touched a couple of things that I did not think about, thanks. I still have the problem of my players being misers, but I need to think how to penalize it. <br /><br />Thanks for your post JB!Nirkhuzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01625430841723207402noreply@blogger.com
