How much for a prostitute?

[UngeheuerLich]

Use 1GP = 50 to 100 Dollars and you will get good prices.

This thread is quite instructive in terms of how discourse on the topic of sex work has changed in the last 20 years.

I think this thread would have been distasteful in 2002 when it was started. It has aged like milk since then.

And yes, I'm threadcrapping. Very much so.

Oh that reminds me to uncork my 20-year old milk and enjoy a nice thick glass!

Notice the impulse to use hatespeech to try censor by intimidation.

20 years old. Not that it was appropriate then either.

And yes, I'm threadcrapping. Very much so.

I think it’s a well-deserved crapping.

The fictitious 5e D&D economy is wild, resembling neither a medieval economy nor a modern one.

For practical purposes, the cost equivalence of a gp seems roughly anywhere from $5 to $25.

1 gp ≈ $5 to $25

Compare handforged combat worthy longsword:
15 gp ≈ $400
1 gp ≈ $26.67

Compare handforged combat worthy renaissance full armor
1500 gp ≈ $7000
1 gp ≈ $4.67

Personally, for the D&D economy, I suspect the 1 gp per $25, to be the more useful approximation.

D&D doesn’t have an economy. Supply is arbitrary and demand is driven exclusively by a handful of individuals with very unusual needs. Personally, I think the best way to make it feel like there are market factors at work is to introduce variation in prices. Treat listed prices as an average and roll some dice to figure out how much is actually being asked for or offered for something at the time the PCs try to buy or sell it.

There are different types of Coin Lasses and their fee structure depends on the type they are. MPA (Massage Parlour Attendant) for example would a room fee (for the brothel), and basic fee for the Coin Lass (anything else is extra). say 40 sp for the room fee, 60 sp per half hour for the coin lass, and 20sp to a gold pieces negiotated for extras.

An Escort Coin Lass would charge hourly or per half hour, with either or incall/outcall options. Certain activist beyond standard would cost extra to be negiotated. 3 gold per hour.

Then there is the all you can ** german style brothel, one standard price to get in, and just have as much * as you want. 1 to 3 gold to enter.

At least tripple all prices or more for Doppelganger Coin Lasses or Lads.

Metallic Dragon Coin Lasses/Lads would be 100x more then Doppelgangers.
