Phaiston have long avoided the tightly competetive defence sector, but the IRDA Act 2052 has given us the freedom we need to bring out something really special.

Not quite, a scotch egg is surrounded by minced pork in breadcrumbs rather than stuffing and they're generally baked and served cold as a finger food rather than deep fried.

Probably using this term wrong, but are there DMs grognards enough to present the players with a bounty of such gold but not allow them to have it because the limitation of carrying capacity?

Is there a carrying capacity for currency in D&D, even?

All you gotta do is have a magic coin pouch that just warps coins to your bank or whatever. Also it doesn't accept anything but coins. Problem solved.

My buddy thought up a DnD cursed item once: Socks of too much comfort. You put em on, and they're really comfy and you can never remove them, and it's like a problem after a long time as you can't take them off for any reason due to the level of comfort.

maybe the socks were just an analogy for heroin, who knows.

Like if you are playing a ~realism heavy~ campaign it might come up, but you can handwave a lot of things away because who wants to deal with it.

I once put a giant door of solid adamantine in a dungeon and several players spent a bit of time trying to figure out how to get it back to town but I was pretty sure they couldn't.

There are people who absolutely live for keeping obsessive track of carrying capacity and treating DnD as a logistics puzzle.
It was more of a thing when the game started in the 70s but people do still play that way.

There are games out there with great rules that you can follow to the letter and still have a great time; the current edition of DnD is instead a kludge of several decades of revision and trying to appeal to as many people as possible (not helped by people using DnD instead of a game that might be better suited to the gameplay they want) to the point that if you're starting with a new group exactly how much you should give a poo poo about how much your coins weigh is a big toss-up.

I think this counts as both a meme and a one-page RPG.

I think I recall tomb of horrors has big adamantine doors too, and some people "beat" the adventure by successfully taking the doors and going home, so I don't blame em for tryin.

Fuck you and the sun you live under


I usually only do the How are you gonna carry all that gold only if it a gently caress ton. Like they open a large chest packed with gold, oh thats like 2000 gold or something just put that in you bag. If its like the hoard at the end of Dragons Lair then lets see what kinda bag space you have. Your still gonna make out fabulously wealthy but i like them coming up with fun ideas to get as much as possible.

Melt the gold into a giant ball and roll it out

It's easier to just build a city around the treasure than to transport it to the city. Send someone out with a few hundo gold to get some carpenters etc.

(I have no idea how much a gold is worth in Dungeons & Dragons but to me it sounds like 6000 gold should be an immense amount of money, like several kings' ransoms, that has no right being carried around in a bag of monies. Unless gold is like a super common metal on Dungeons & Dragons, in which case why the gently caress are they minting money out of it?)

e: wait, 120 lbs is like 50 kg? Don't the fuckers have a horse or a mule? Did the idiot hell adventurers walk to the scene of the crime? Lmao.

If your GM can't come up with ways that pushing a big, heavy ball of gold through a trap-filled dungeon leads to Wile E. Coyote-style hijinks then they're really not trying hard enough.

adventurers having huge rear end treasures that they can't carry easily is part of the fun. it can lead to decent comedy in the right groups

eg.

Seriously though 50 kg is light enough that you'd easily just slap some wooden runners under the chest and pull it out of the dungeon behind you with rope. (Don't have rope? The gently caress kind of adventurer are you?)

A gold coin was originally 1/50th of a pound in weight and a pound of gold coins was enough to buy 2500' of rope, a suit of plate armour, a light horse and half a mule, or 10 buds of garlic.

Coins were big and not worth that much.
