Use 1GP = 50 to 100 Dollars and you will get good prices.
I think this thread would have been distasteful in 2002 when it was started. It has aged like milk since then.This thread is quite instructive in terms of how discourse on the topic of sex work has changed in the last 20 years.
Oh that reminds me to uncork my 20-year old milk and enjoy a nice thick glass!I think this thread would have been distasteful in 2002 when it was started. It has aged like milk since then.
20 years old. Not that it was appropriate then either.Hey, so...WTF is this thread?
I think it’s a well-deserved crapping.And yes, I'm threadcrapping. Very much so.
The fictitious 5e D&D economy is wild, resembling neither a medieval economy nor a modern one.Use 1GP = 50 to 100 Dollars and you will get good prices.
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.The fictitious 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.
