Well, time for one of my semi-random updates on where Letters from the Flaming Crab stands! Thanks to our successful Kickstarter we've got funding to pay for every book in the line we want to put out this year. Thanks so much to everyone who supported us!
Iconic Princess, Here There Be (tiny) Dragons, and Her Story are already released and available for sale.
I just turned over Coins and Credit to the beta team to make sure it is up to snuff. In Coins and Credit we answer all sorts of interesting questions, like...
- What's the Craft check DC for making (and counterfeiting!) a coin?
- What's the difference between a coin stamp and a coin screw press?
- Can a kingdom use magic to make their currency? The answer is yes!
- What's the exact volume, thickness, and diameter of a gold piece?
- How many coins can fit into a backpack? What about a chest?
- Can I really spend those ancient coins from a long-dead kingdom I found in a dungeon at the local market? A gp is a gp, right?
- What kind of banks are there and what's the likelihood of finding one in a settlement?
- If I want to take out a loan, what's the maximum a bank might give me? What sort of rates will they offer?
- So, what kind of security does that bank have, anyway? Just asking for curiosity's sake, mind you...
- Are there really bank gremlins that go into vaults and eat coins? And is your GM a jerk for bringing them into a game? Yes.
- How does credit work in a pre-industrial world?
- Why would a king reward an adventuring party with a letter of credit instead of a chest of platinum coins?
- What's the difference between a letter of credit, a promissory note, and a banknote?
- Is there a daily withdrawal limit on my vault satchel?
And more! It is going to be awesome.
While our beta team works on hammering Coins and Credit the writing team of Hygiene is writing up a storm. We'll be including:
- A Roman bath, Japanese bath, Turkish bath, hair salon, barber shop, and laundry ready to be inserted into your campaign world.
- Rules on being clean and dirty and how your state of hygiene affects both your health and your social skills.
- New items, both mundane and magical to help you keep clean and stay clean!
And more. We're still working there!
I'll try to keep you updated more as we go.
I'm excited to see how people respond to Coins and Credit (hint, I wrote part of it).
Also excited for this (I also wrote part of it)!
