Using Alchemy to Solve Problems
We Solve It With SCIENCE
I added a section on the ways the currency system can allow for creative solutions for problems, and a table that gives guidance on how much a potion for different problems should cost. I added this to the SRD as well.
The resource currency system is one of Hostile Sun’s key ideas. ** There is a web of systems** - the currency tree, Alchemy potions, creature taming, blockchain economy, bribing and now mad science solutions to narrative obstacles - **that all go back to the currency system. **
The hope is, instead of memorizing a litany of rules, the GM and players can build up a sort of internal game economy where players come to understand how many resources (and, narratively, which resources) are needed to solve ever bigger problems. Instead of memorizing rules, when the GM acknowledges that a solution comes with a resource cost, the players are always confronted with that question:
**Is it worth the cost? ** Or should we hold our resources for potential bigger problems around the corner? This choice is more interesting than probabilistic succeed or fails.
New Art Coming In
