[hivemind] to die another day!

[Eternalknight]

I should be heading to bed soon also, even if tomorrow is a dead day. Much writing to do, but little else.

Hehe, I've been having too many late nights watching crciket and a certain little thing going on in the Middle East.

You can't go yet, Skade! I'm just getting the ol' creativity engine warmed up!

EDIT: Oops, hi EK!

Hey!

Anyway, just a short stay. Ciao!

 

[Skade]

I'm not at all tired. I suppose I could just write tonight. My sleep schedule is so whacked. If anything is my least favorite thing about being jobless (aside from a budget) it is that I have really messed up my sleep schedule.

I'm using the Stronghold Builders Guide right now to make a little fort my players are buying, and its based on the sample lighthouse keep in the Sword and Fist book. I'm not getting a price anywhere near the one they have listed. *sigh*

Dragongirl and EK, has anyone done like a one page PrC for the steampunk issue? UnDfind and I have an idea....

I think that S+F can claim Ipso Facto on that one, as it came out quite a while before the SBG did.

I guess so. This is less than half the stated cost. That is a big difference. I'm still reading. The formula used is not easily seen, or I'm looking in the wrong place.

What would be the price increase on a magic item if it has History?

The rarity value?

 

[Skade]

I've been trying to figure that one out. I eould think that items with a good story are worth more because they are not simply the province of the adventurer looking for an edge. They become sought after by wealthy eccentrics who are lookig for something to brag about at their next club meeting.

 

[UnDfind]

It most definately makes them rare items, which would increase their price. As I'd assume no one could just forge an item with History, they would most definately be rare and pricey, one of a kind items.

EDIT: I most definately like to say "most definately."

 

[Maldur]

I think Ill just double the price. But if a know collector of the type of item is in the neighbor hood the price may double once again

this is maybe a bit low, for some items this could be as high as 10 x the regular price.

Well, look at it like memorabilia. A nice fountain pen from the 19th century could cost say, 1000 dollars in mint condition. 9total guess here) but if you could prove that the pen was used by Charles Dickens how much would someone pay?

If it were rare enough, there would be an auction, not a singular price, I think.
