  • The best currency is obviously tally sticks.

    I joke - I haven’t used this in a game. It is interesting, though. From what I understand of history, the vast majority of people used a gift economy, barter, and what was essentially a credit system to get what they needed. The idea of the adventurers ‘buying’ their equipment on credit by owing the blacksmith a portion of loot later does raise some ideas.

    Also tally sticks are where we get the phrase ‘stock holder’; the one who loaned the goods kept the larger end of the split tally, which was called the stock.



  • Like the other out-of-touch libs, when you say ‘working class’ what you mean is ‘racist white rural people’.

    Half my coworkers were either born outside the US or are second-gen. My national just voted to affirm and support trans rights. Turns out, people who work for money are working class. That includes, well, everybody.

    This misunderstanding is why the Dems ‘moved to the right’ this election. They still think it’s 1950. Moving to the right doesn’t make you appealing to the working class, it makes you appealing to bigots.

    Literally just make life easier for the working poor. That is all you need to do.
