[QUOTE="haiiro, post: 1627616, member: 1891"] [b]A dilemma[/b] I've finally whipped my little system for selling magic items into a form I'm happy with, and now I've got a dilemma: I'd like to publish it, either as a free PDF or a very low-cost PDF. This sounds like it could be a lot of fun, but given that I developed it after discussing the idea in this thread, and reading the two others that Larcen linked us to, is it even possible? I have no desire to steal anyone's ideas, and the system I came up with is wholly my own -- but it was certainly influenced by what's been posted here. In particular: - Ambrus's "40% base + roll" idea - njrpg's "%ile chance = % of MV" idea - Larcen's many viewpoints on the topic - Spatzimaus's breakdown of high supply vs. high demand My current version has an acknowledgements section that reads as follows: "[i]After playing a session that was a bit bogged down by mundane tasks, my gaming group came up with the idea of creating a simple system for selling magic items in-game. Three of the players in this campaign, [names withheld for the moment], all provided excellent inspiration and feedback. When I asked how others resolved the sale of magic items on the EN World messageboards, I got a lot of good responses. Four posters in particular contributed ideas that helped me come up with this little system: Ambrus, Larcen, njrpg and Spatzimaus. My thanks to all of you![/i]" So...what's the right course here?
