[QUOTE="Felix, post: 3612423, member: 3929"] For someone who pours time into developing a campaign world which incorporates the assumed magic and wealth availability, and spends more time roleplaying the adventure instead of roleplaying the shopping, hearing someone else describe your game as "Magic Wal-Mart" is insulting because it implies that you haven't put any time into fleshing out the world. The term is incredibly dismissive, and for someone who allows the term to apply to an entire world, it seems you dismiss their entire world. No matter how polite, when you lay "MagicMart Campaign Setting" at a DMs feet, they cannot but be miffed, unless the setting is specifically designed to be lighthearted. I don't believe that most campaign settings out there are designed that way, and I do believe that many do use the standard wealth tables, so using it as lightly as you seem to do is, at best, inadvisable. At worst, it's terribly insulting. And it would be so despite your intension to do otherwise. [/QUOTE]
