Real Role Playing
Something came up in my campaign yesterday I thought I'd have to pass
along. The Black Baron of Roesone, being filty rich, and an avid collector
of prize horseflesh (a bad combination, read on...) purchased two prize
Coeranian stallions (one male, one female) for a grand total of 40 GB.
Now, that's roleplaying!

Ahh, but does anyone know about this misappropriation of funds? A little
revolt may make him think about that again. :)

That price is robbery! I hope his people revolt when they hear how their
taxes are spent. Besides, some of the finest horses are in the stables of
the Paladin-Prince of Ariya. Now an overland or sea trip to purchase or
trade for some of those horses would be roleplaying and high adventure.

and I thought that was good.... yours takes the cake :-)

That's pretty cool.
Now I wonder how far a PC would go to get those horses back after they were
stolen by the local bad guy?

My God! 20 GB per horse? That's 40,000 Gold! You could buy a
warship with that much cash! A good warship!
Dear lord. I would have laughed and said "yeah, right," if my GM had
said a horse was 40,000 gold. Hell, you could pay a
mage to Wish you the perfect horse for that much! You could get a
conjuring/summoning specialist to summon Secretariat for that much!

Anyone besides me see the REAL criminal waste of kingdom funds with this
purchase? This lord doesn't seem to know horses as well as he thinks...

If I were a citizen of his realm, I'd see to it he never made such an error
again. :)
