It feels good to have people like it.I took a toolbox approach to it. In a toolbox, if you need a hammer, you get the hammer. If you need some information on currencies, the book provides it. The book was not designed to replace the economic system provided by the D&D books. The book was also not designed to fix errors in the economic system provided by the D&D books.It was also not designed to accurately reflect economic systems of the Middle Ages. But I did included sidebars with discussions of the histories of things like banking, insurance and the gold standard.At the risk of breaking my arm patting my own back, if you looking for rules on PCs buying raise dead insurance before plunging into a dungeon or rules unusual treasure (i.e bonds, stocks, etc.) the bank banking guild book is the one for you.If you looking for something more nitty-gritty details on real world economic systems, then you should look somewhere else because my book would let you down.Banking Guild covers:• Currency exchange• Banks• Insurance• Stock Exchange• Promissory Notes• Titles• BondsI did exaggerate the influence of things like banks and stock exchanges. I’m guilty as charged. I also thought about a dragon bank – like the one discussed above – but I didn’t have room for it. Maybe someday if I do something like a follow up on a national bank or a stock exchange.I also wanted to put more Easter Egg-references in it, as well as jokes, but I don’t know many banker jokes or pop-culture references to how funny money is.As for the roving accountant, I was inspired by an old Farside that features something like “John Smith – Frontier Accountant” and shows an image  of this buttoned downed guy in a suit, with a brief case, striking a noble poise out in the woods.Oh, and all the staff members of the sample bank are named for various currencies.</blockquote>
