And it's fairly easy to convert the trea...Yeah. And it's fairly easy to convert the treasure hoards from "steel" to "gold."<br /><br />A more interesting question is what PCs are going to do with the wealth they pull out of such places as Skullcap or Pax Tharkas or Xak Tsaroth. Even without an impending dragonarmy invasion, there's no cities to sell various treasures and luxuries (1500# gold doors and whatnot). How many spiced potatoes can you buy for a handful of rubies? <br /><br />Treasure is more useful in a world set up to take advantage of and appreciate treasure.JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03263662621289630246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-87743852946294313462020-11-17T06:27:38.186-08:002020-11-17T06:27:38.186-08:00I have heard it said that the "Golden Age of ...I have heard it said that the "Golden Age of Sci-fi/Fantasy is 14." That always rang true for me because I was 14 when I read these books and I was more interested in the exploits of the novel characters and not the ins and out of Krynn's economy. <br /><br />Now of course the whole steel piece makes no sense what-so-ever. Even in interviews Weis and Hickman felt it was not well thought out and wanted to get the RPG characters away from the idea of hording gold.<br /><br />I frankly never used it for the one or two games I ran in Krynn.

But because its a railroad collecting wealth doesn't really matter in the adventures anyway. <br /><br />But all that being said D&D economics never realy make sense. I do my best to justify things in my current campaign, which takes place 18 years after the orc horde ravaged half the borderlands. This explains why they have so much loot. <br /><br />For DL I would go closer to the cataclysm. Say 60 years. Old Man Edwin still remebers the splendor of the old times and yammers on about the great temples and strange fruits brought in from far away lands when trade still existed.sevenbastardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11961009160456478009noreply@blogger.com
