Reciprocity Coin - Critiques and Discussion

(12 items)

The Reciprocity Coin was my submission for RPG Superstar 2011. The basic concept is a coin that can be activated when given in a transaction - the giver then gets to make a demand of the receiver, and then the receiver gets to make a demand of the giver.

It's an unusual item, in my eyes, because it's built as kind of a player-owned plot generator. And because reciprocity and carefully crafting intricate demand phrasings are fun :)

So I'm reasonably pleased with the item itself, and I got a lot of interesting feedback for it, collected here, mostly for my own future reference.

Neil Spicer's exhaustive critique. Includes comments on plot devices as contest submissions (hint: they don't like 'em).

Snorter takes issue with the believability of the item and its in-game use. This is one critique I actively disagreed with, because I see a lot of easy justifications and uses, so we discussed the issue a bit futher.

RonarsCorruption commented on the item being confusing and nonintuitive. This quotes his comments (from a many-item post of his).
