Alfies's curse is a sign that she's the reincarnation of Cadmus Blair (think Salazar Slytherin). Considering that Alfie's draconic greed is well-established far before she starts turning into a dragon, I think these traits would have to be encouraged by her family. It'll be a point of tension with Terry, since his sister is spending a lot of time with a family that loudly hates that their daughter is required to take useless classes like Reading, History, and Natural Philosophy ☹️

@SteposVenzny Good point on Minty sounding exactly like Minthe. I might give her a nickname like "Slugger" or "Knucksie" instead, since she's got anger issues and is gonna kill her best friend someday.

@pteryx recommended Justinian as a replacement for Harrison. Maybe Jeffery could work? Earlier last names for him that I threw out included Gwion-Bach, Taliesin, and Pittacus. Thought those all were too on-the-nose. I'm also fairly certain I read a book recently with a protag named Taliesin?🤷‍♂️

Wait, beer rots? Gonna look into this real quick. Sounds like something beer shouldn't do

Edit: Turns out ale was nearly nonalcoholic back then and was viewed the way protein shakes are now

Also, totally makes sense they would call them gold and silver if they inherited the roman Librae, Solidi, Denarii currency system

@malin @rpg

I mean, usually my #dnd players strongly dislike tracking encumbrance, so the coins might as well be weightless.

Something I think people tend to forget about is the practice of "free lunch". Sit yourself down at the bar, order a drink, and you get access to a whole lunch menu as long as you keep drinking. It particularly makes sense if a pint of beer &/or a single lunch actually costs slightly less than a cp, so two beers would cover the cost.

But it's coins made of solid gold/silver/copper that players find in dungeons, bring back to town, and immediately spend. People bring their irl money intuition to the table when they need to pull prices out of their ass which results in tavern food costing, like, 10 gold coins per plate. Realistically, given the prices of the materials in the specie coins, I think players paying for stuff in gp should be treated like some rich fuck paying for fast food with Benjamins.
