| Aug 11, 2021 at 18:49 | comment | added | ucbpaladin | To answer @Someone_Evil, not so much system specific, probably some variety of OD&D / OSR variant in the near future, as DM. In essence, I'm interested in a quick, reality-based framework for deciding what PCs should get in exchange for loot. There are some old Runequest articles related to this, but I have the feeling they're too generous to the players. I've seen 50% of retail prices frequently quoted as what PCs might get, but have the sense that the reality would be more like 10% if they were lucky. Maybe 0% plus arbitrary arrest. Sorry it was off-topic, the intent really is for RPGs. | |

And which site you ask will probably depend on what kind of answer you're looking for. Since you've asked here to begin with, is there a particular RPG use you were intending to apply this to? I ask, because there may be a very good question in that, but it'll at least require some more info. | |

| Aug 9, 2021 at 21:18 | comment | added | Cooper | I'm agreed with the others here, but seconding Thomas' suggestion to check with worldbuilding or history. Alternatively, if you're trying to workshop something, feel free to join us in chat! | |
