Pitfalls of using the optional 'XP for Gold' rule in a Basic D&D Retro Clone game? Instead of GP => XP conversion, you can also require training to level, with a master of sorts, at 1000GP per level per week, with the number of weeks being the number of levels. (Work it out based on the gold sink you require). This also lets you introduce the requirement of an appropriate master, hooks, etc. The other element is you can be nastier and halt XP accumulation after someone is eligible to level. So instead of the XP max being +2 levels -1 XP, it would be 1 level only. |

Is there a plainer english explanation of bravery and poltroonery? This helps incredibly! I was unable to parse the rules as written, whereas this makes sense! |

Do pregnancies apply at the Bawdyhouse? From a verisimilitude perspective: early modern STDs resulted in general infertility amongst women who habitually sold sex, particularly amongst women confined in places where sex was sold. (We'd think of them as prostitutes and brothels, but I'm less sure about the anachronism of that comparison over time). @SevenSidedDie &Melon in en-garde paternity is declared for mistresses based on primary lover regardless of coitus. &Oblivious Sage historically STD infertility was "birth control" |

Castles construction costs in D&D Military apparatus should effectively cost a %GDP (or equivalent total social product/mobilisable labour pool). Militaries are about the man keeping you down (tell it like you mean it). Any technology change is going to complexify the apparatus in use, but it'll still cost an equivalent proportion of social effort. So basically drain player's treasure reserves, and then add 40% to the budget. Also attack the castle while they're setting it up. Hooks galore plus financial motivation and probably a need to infeudate poor peasants. |

Fantasy economy: how to design a deep, sophisticated crafting system? "there can be quite a bunch of people devoted to technological advancement and/or exploitation of the ongoing system." No not really, consult source material for the early modern period. If you want to wander off into "capitalism with swords" go ahead, but this conflicts with verisimilitude. |
