And in the old world, who is going to waste brass making coins?  There is much more important stuff to use brass on.  Like steam tanks, and cannons.

Brass used on coins is hardly wasted brass. How would the towns and villages function without coin? It is, literally, the lifeblood of the Old World nations - were it not so, the anarcho-primitivist anti-capitalistic Northern Tribes would not be so intent on wiping the monetary order from the face of the Old World, no?

In reply to OrtHodox (msg #39):

Copper. Zinc is rare. Copper is common. Use the copper, leave out the brass.

Though I'd very much like to try the game, I have to admit that if I was going to be a GM in a game, I would probably use the same modified economy for 2ed that PsyckoSama is using.

Still looking for GM who is willing to make a PbP out of this =D

Thanks. I like to hear that the economy I'm using is well liked by my players. :)

Bronze: copper is rather soft and coins will loose their markings quickly. Plus, because they're soft, they're easily 'shaved'. Tin is not that uncommon, and bronze is a lot harder than copper.

Soft? Compared to what? Gold and Silver?

On the Mohs hardness scale copper is a 3. Gold and Silver are a 2.5. Relatively speaking it maintains its detailing and is harder to shave than either of those metals.

Your point has just been pwned... with SCIENCE! ;) ;) ;)

Science is evil! Burn the heretic!

By request- BUMP!

Anyone else given thought to trying to run this on RPOL?

I think the issue is the dice system, the unique dice can make it a pain to run on here.

there is an online diceroller though.

and the guides give an optionj to play cardless....

I've tried it a couple of times and was not overly impressed.  I really like a few aspects, but picking up 20 dice to roll one check makes it reallllyyyy slow and chunky.  Party cards are cool and I really like them.  My group is going back to 2nd edition as soon as my "vacation" ends and the 3rd edition guy finishes up.

Depends on the use of the narrative aspect of the dicepool.

I prefer second edition rules above third edition, although they do have some nice tweaks and tricks in it. I cheer the fact that critical hits can occur any time during combat, and not only when you are already close to Morr's Garden :)

I like the concept of dice pools above a single roll, but in third edition there are just to many dice (types). It gives you a great opportunity to tell your story as each die (type) is linked to something, but then again, construction your dice pool can become a burden.

I cannot confirm this from my game experience. it is simple, each players constructs their own dicepool and the gm only adds fortune/misfortune and challenge dice.

I've perused the rules, and I should be getting a copy of the game in the next couple of weeks.  I know there are a couple of different dice rollers out there, but if I can work out a good way to do the dice rolling here then I'm willing to give a go at running the game.

just let the gm do all the rolling/interpretation of the rolls. works in my game just fine. It is in german but if anyone is interested i would provide a link.

I can do that too.  As soon as I've gotten the set in I'll definitely see if I can scoop up enough players to make a game.

in

I'd be willing to try out 3rd edition.

Count me in.

three dedicated players is the recommeded size...

Okay, I've got my fantasy setup now.  I plan to start working tonight on setting up to play out the adventure included with the boxed set.  I'm going to be looking for 3-4 players that want to play the game, don't mind the GM making all the rolls, and haven't read/played the adventure.

If interested, even those that have expressed an interest, then please PM me and let me know.  Those players will receive an invitation first, then I'll advertise to fill any remaining slots.

oh thats too bad, would have liked to be in on that one.
