Re: Dark Gate OOC Thread
Currency in DG is generally pretty high value, at least compared to how it is in most fantasy games. There's a list of prices for various things in the lore thread to produce a benchmark for the value of money, mostly shit off the top of my head (and thus without real research to work out better equivalencies) but it's good enough. Fighting in DG isn't worth all that much since it isn't as commercialized as anything modern, with the possible exception of Acheron, but for a regional champion I would guess about 100 to 300 denarii in any of the major areas, not counting bets or sponsorships. It'd also depend heavily on the specific region and the manner of fighting. To give an example, you wouldn't get much for pure hand to hand in Crolia or Anudor, whereas you could get a lot for it in the Amazon. Badaria (again not including Acheron) would be on the low end of the spectrum for competition fighting since the vast majority of their military is now mostly using firearms rather than melee weapons, leaving armed hand to hand combat as mostly a curiosity and whatnot.
