skenderax Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Wish you nice day, I just remember the old time, when I crawl dungeons, kill monsters and collected money. Good old times :-D. And then, after returning to civilization crawling continued = SHOPPING for magic potion, equipment, scrolls. Now, I have big problem. Not with crating a dungeons, but spending money, gold, gems. I have Magical World rules, BRP, Advanced Sorcery, Enlightened Magic, The Magic Book. Plenty of material, but no rules for spending money, no rules for buying special equipment. Have you any idea to create some universal rules for pricing or valuating magical equipment? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seneschal Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Now, in a sword and sorcery campaign that wouldn't be an issue. Your doughty adventurers would blow the whole wad in a week or so on wine, women and song -- requiring them to go a-roving again to remain solvent. If they insist on being thrifty and responsible, one potential rate of currency and shopping list is available in the RuneQuest Deluxe SRD, downloadable from this website, around Page 19 or so. http://basicroleplaying.org/files/category/52-mongoose-runequest/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooley1chris Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 This is a pretty good idea. If Nothing else to have a common value when attempting to sell such an item. Just went through MW,CF, and Adv. Sorc. and saw Nothing about the costs of having a spell caster cast a spell for you...Maybe I'm missing something because I'd have sworn I saw a cost for a heal spell in a temple somewhere... If the big boys at CHAOSIUM don't have anything in the works for this, perhaps I'll whip up such a book detailing costs for certain properties and items. I was thinking about doing a more advanced alchemy book anyway, so this sorta ties in.

Moonowl67 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Basic Gamemaster contains rules for hiring spellcasters to cast a spell on your behalf. A single source for relative prices would be handy, though . . . I have a player who wanted his PC to craft his own high-quality musket, and had to ab-lib on the cost of materials.

BMonroe Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 The upcoming Chronicler's Companion has rules for hiring spell casters. Actually, about half the book is drawn from the aforementioned "Basic Gamemaster" book (aka, the RQIII Gamemaster's Book). Guidelines for buying magical junk would just need to be extrapolated from that. For example, figure out the total MP/POW spent to make a magical sword as if it was a demon weapon (ala Advanced Sorcery), then look that up on the table in CC/BG, and you're set. 1 Quote Please don't contact me with Chaosium questions.

Mankcam Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I tend to ask for Wealth rolls using Status %, so as long as something is listed in those terms I'm fine, but it does make me long for the days of dungeon crawling and item shopping again...

tooley1chris Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Thanks Zomben! That's good news.

BMonroe Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 BTW: I've asked Nick Nacario from Chaosium to come over to the forum and talk about the current status of MW projects. He's been doing the layout/production work on the MW line, so has a much better idea of what's going on than I do. Keep an eye out for status reports from "ChaosiumNick" (I think that's his userid here...) 1 Quote Please don't contact me with Chaosium questions.

tooley1chris Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Thanks Mr Monroe! Hopefully he has a lot to talk about, laced with good news!
