The worst options are deeply reactionary (buying mundane equipment with XP to keep your thumb on the players)
Referencing any games in particular there, Soma? >_>
No, no, not at all

@somasatori Yeah, I hate abstract economic systems as well. Fluff needs crunch to support it. Without the crunch, it’s all just “I shot you with my laser. Nuh-uh, because I had my laser deflector field up!”. The only abstract money I have been somewhat OK with was based on cascading dice, where items had a cost and you had to roll over the cost with the die your current money die. If you failed, you still bought it, but you dropped a die size. If it was impossible to roll over the cost (so costs equal to or higher than your current die size), you simply couldn’t buy it. It made you somewhat take into consideration the economics of things. “Hmmm, I have a d10 money die. Do I want to risk buying that cost 8 item?”
-
@somasatori Yeah, I very much see your point.
Since the game was low-fantasy medieval-stasis setting, getting the best house in the city would have more to do with status than money, and the reality of housing shortages in a walled city was something more worth representing. Or so I felt. Not that it ever actually mattered.

I’ll have to make a note to include that when I launch my Vampire the Masquerade: Sydney by Night game.

@Gashlycrumb Well, it’s not fun to live it.

The real problem with WoD Austrailia is that WoD is supposed to be real world bads turned up to 11, and Austriailia is already a giant ‘kill all humans’ zone, so when you turn that up to 11…
Mummy Pun? MUMMY PUN!

This makes me think of a setting where the various WoD Spheres have to band together to fight encroaching cosmic horrors and the occasional Kaiju that gets lost on the way to Japan.

@MisterBoring If I ever un-retired it’d be for something silly and laughter-oriented like that.

@MisterBoring I don’t play WoD servers, but I would play that.
