Wait, beer rots? Gonna look into this real quick. Sounds like something beer shouldn’t do

Edit: Turns out ale was nearly nonalcoholic back then and was viewed the way protein shakes are now

@malin @rpg

Also, totally makes sense they would call them gold and silver if they inherited the roman Librae, Solidi, Denarii currency system

@malin @rpg

I mean, usually my #dnd players strongly dislike tracking encumbrance, so the coins might as well be weightless.

Something I think people tend to forget about is the practice of “free lunch”. Sit yourself down at the bar, order a drink, and you get access to a whole lunch menu as long as you keep drinking. It particularly makes sense if a pint of beer &/or a single lunch actually costs slightly less than a cp, so two beers would cover the cost.

@malin @rpg

But it’s coins made of solid gold/silver/copper that players find in dungeons, bring back to town, and immediately spend. People bring their irl money intuition to the table when they need to pull prices out of their ass which results in tavern food costing, like, 10 gold coins per plate. Realistically, given the prices of the materials in the specie coins, I think players paying for stuff in gp should be treated like some rich fuck paying for fast food with Benjamins.

Love your username 💜

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

@Dagnet @dragontamer
I saw a video of a guy doing breaststroke in full plate mail once. Sure, it was rough for him, and he was already pretty fucking good at swimming, but he didn’t sink like metal Mario or anything like that.

@The_Picard_Maneuver
I am so grateful I have never played with someone like this

My group’s campaign started with us being called in to select the next heir, which involved investigating the sins of the imperial harem. When we got there, there were about 60 children and 12 viable heirs. Currently, there are 5 remaining children and 2 viable heirs.

@nothacking @Stamets @rpgmemes
Thats just dnd in general right there

Are we playing the same campaign? Lol

@aulin @Stamets that’s a very long orc name

@LoamImprovement @Anticorp I think you don’t understand how public arguments work

@MonkCanatella that is actually a really good point. I did not think of this.

@stifle867 interesting. I would prefer to have port-forwarding to cover my ass, though. I personally use Zorin OS, which is based on Debian, so maybe it might work?

@thantik yeah that was me. I prefer to keep my Mastodon stuff and Lemmy stuff separate. What happened was that I initially posted this from Lemmy, realized I would rather post this from Mastodon, and deleted the first one so there wouldn’t be duplicates. I wasn’t trying to gaslight you and you didn’t do anything wrong.

@akilou good to know about the Linux, I am a Linux user

@starlord2014 wish Mullvad had an email service lol. I have looked into them previously and they do seem like the most trustworthy overall.
But then i get to the checkout and have a moment where I think “why am I doing this? I don’t torrent!” And then I never go through with it, which means I don’t get into torrenting, etc. And the cycle goes on
