And maybe stop championing the self-righteous "I'm doing everybody a favor by keeping logical gold prices out of D&D", eh?Of course making up prices is easy when you're good with basically random ones. When I say it's hard, I'm talking about prices that allow you to present the players with a menu of hard choices, where spending your wealth in an optimal manner is actually challenging, becoming an interesting anf fun mini-game in itself. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />But no, WotC have decided nobody is getting to play the game this way anymore, since they correctly gambled on being able to get away with just abandoning this aspect of the game since it would have meant hiring more competent developers and actually caring.The price list discussed here (Sane) was hugely valuable to me back in the day when 5E was new. Sure it wasn't perfect, but at least it offered a point of light in an otherwise sea dark with people just blindly buying WotCs spiel hook line and sinker. What it told me was that no, I wasn't insane, WotC's pricing scheme was. As in, yes, the books gave you advice in all earnestness that is just shite. No, you're not missing anything, is what Sane told me. They just straight-up shoveled you horse manure pretending it was gold.</blockquote>
