Ireland, hands down. I’ve been twice, and both times I’ve been absolutely enamored with the country. I’m from the Midwest, so a lot of it is probabky just the differences and the fact I’m on vacation. But the castles and walkabke cities, and rolling hills, and so much green instead of brown or yellow! I’m also a fantasy nerd, so I’m a sucker for anything that can have a medieval spin.
Ooh, yeah! I don’t have much experience writing cookies, but that’s a really good idea!
Absolutely! I agree that the potion should be a little more expensive. Its just a flat 60 feet no stipulations or concentration. Where the broom is 60 feet, 30 if its carrying over 200 lbs, and you could get knocked off. I also do variants of a lot of potions where they last until a long rest for things like resistance and stat bonuses. For reference, my broom of flying is 125 gp, and my long rest potion of flying is 500 gp.
Oh yeah, I’ve already gotten a list of items and prices, and I generally followed the price guidelines listed in the DMG (uncommon 100 - 500 gp, rare 500 - 5,000 gp, etc). There were some outliers, but yeah. My biggest worry is that my arbitrary opinions on prices will not vibe with what ither people think. I’m floating ideas of possibly trying to crowd source this to the internet somehow to get people’s opinions. Thanks for the feedback!
Fair! I’m hearing that a lot in this thread, so maybe there’s not as much of a desire for this as I thought. I think I must run a more high magic world than most people. Those are all super valid complaints, and I’m hoping that having an actual suggested price point will help that. Ya know, buybat this price, sell it like 50% - 80% that price. Do you mind if I ask if you think this website would help you? Or would you just consider it more useless blpat to the process? L
Totally valid! I personally run a very high magic world where enchanted items are fairly common. Mind you most things above Uncommon in rarity are very expensive or quest rewards. I like the feeling of magic being a constant in my world, so I like to pepper in items that I wouldn’t normally know about because I haven’t read all of them.
But I think for DM’s who run worlds closer to yours, I’ll probably add a filter so you can exclude anything of a certain rarity or base price out. Thanks for the feedback!
Also, if there are any online tools for ttrpgs you wish existed, please share them! I’m taking a “sabbatical” from my software engineering job to reassess my career and work on personal projects, so I’m looking for inspiration! This all came from what I considered a gap that I wanted to fill for my own games, and turned into something I’m hoping to use as a live portfolio for interviews. And if it makes a couple bucks on the side passively, which I’m doubtful, that’d be great!
Thanks! I’ll give it a try!
I know I’m part of the problem because I’m bad at trying new systems. I’m a creature of habit, and I’ve started with 5E dnd, so thats where my knowledge is. But to be fair, thats the largest player base (I think), and has the most support and tools. I should look into Pathfinder more, though! Especially because I don’t trust Hasbro and WOTC to not pull more corporate bullshit to get more money… like they ever stopped
Yeah, that’s the plan! I personally like high magic campaigns, and I tend to hand out gold and items generously. But I’ve played in campaigns where by level 4 you’ve made like 100 gold total.
Great points! Sorry for any confusion. So with my current personal script, I just went in and assessed and assigned prices to everything. When I generate the shop, I take that price, add anything relevant (like armor or weapons price because i had base types for things like +1 armor), and then assign it a random value between 0.75 * base to 1.25 * base.
I agree, the prices would still be very arbitrary and based solely on my opinions. I would like to explore options on getting feedback or even allowing individual “overrides”, but that would require like user accounts and stuff that I don’t want to manage and most people don’t want to make.
I hoped to help that with a sliding scale that would be a UI slider, so you could scale it to your world’s magic item prices. So say in your world a potion of healing is 5 gold, or maybe its 500 gold. The slider would scale all the prices. Like for instance, base price of a potion of Healing is 50 gp. So if you put it down to 10 gp, everything is reduced down to 20% base price.
I’m always confused by the conservative christian political position until I remember that part in the bible where Jesus definitely said “Help your others… unless its socialism because thats bad.” /s
You need to, bear’s got cheat codes
I used boost for reddit back when that was a thing. The dev got the lemmy up in like a week, very impressive to me. I give $5 every now and then when I feel like it and remember. I’d recommend the app for sure
A lot of people are noting ability score of 0, but I think the wording was meant to be applied to more inanimate things. An ability score of 0 is just a -5 to the score. Lots of sentient magic items and objects will have limited stats. For instance, Whelm is a magic sentient warhammer with an Intelligence of 15, Wisdom of 12, and Charisma of 15. If, for instance, it was forced to make a Strength saving throw, it has no Strength score, and therefore fails. Likewise vehicles often have Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution scores, but no mental scores. If you forced it to make a mental save, they would automatically fail.
The biggest ruse in American history is the modern billionaire convincing the working class Americans that the immigrants, homeless, people of color, and LGBT+ people are the real enemy and the reason you’re unhappy. Capitalism is the only functioning system of government, don’t pay attention to the fact that almost every other developed country has universal healthcare.
Looks great! What languages / frameworks did you use for this?
Is that off the southeastern coast of Ireland? I think I’ve been there!
I 100% read landmines and got really confused
