Hell of a lot faster than going through the courthouse for a name change. Probably cheaper and more effective too.

And that's how you know you're in the forkin' Good Place

Yeah, the adventurers *really* skew the economy. They just casually stroll up and loot hundreds of GP from an ancient crypt, awaken a long-forgotten lich, and then fuck off. It’s always up to the city guard to put down the inevitable undead army that the lich has raised. It truly is the definition of “capitalism for thee, socialism for me.”

>“So why is it 20 GP if all you did was wave your hands around and chant some incantations? Anyone could have done that…” >“Here’s an itemized bill. 1 copper piece for waving my hands around. 1 copper piece for the incantation. 1 copper piece for the scroll... 97cp, 9sp, and 9gp for the education and experience to know which hand waving, incantations, and spell scrolls to use.” Seriously, every single freelancer or contractor has gotten the “Well I could have done that, what the hell am I paying you for? That only took you like 10 minutes” response after making their job look easy.

Wizards gotta pay back their wizard school loans somehow. This is a pretty advanced spell after all, and transcribing spells is expensive. But the real answer is the wizard and the commoners should band together and overthrow the who takes all of the wealth and prevents the formation of a magical post-scarcity society. The wizard could start by renaming the King "Little Baby Commoner"

"I'm not paying for that, anyone can do that!" *Casts Dispel Magic* "Fine, *you do it then!*"

That can be an interesting story. Adventurer with their gold coins wreck a village economy until the taxperson comes

Damn Mansa Musa

I wonder whether an over-abundance of gold or other coins could lead to people using the gold for other purposes (such as magical reagents). I don't know enough about how real world inflation works to speculate about how the fantasy version would work.

not one hour ago a client emailed me annoyed that I made their 7 emails point to one web page and didn't make a separate but identical web pages for each email, obviously me being lazy.

10-100 days wages for seemingly a lifetime of prevented deadnaming and misgendering? That seems like a good deal to me.

That is discounting daily living expenses

Fun fact, in a Campaign I'm playing, my Fey Bard simply stole the Deadname of our Cleric and now she has a total of four names and it's awesome for everyone

It sounded like a scene from liar liar to me.

I love Oglaf so much

"THE PEN THAT I AM HOLDING IN MY HAND IS THE COLOR BLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL FEMALE!" *collapses*

I suspect you could do that in Mage: the Ascension (CAN YOU GUESS WHAT CAMPAIGN I AM PREPPING?!) I could see it as Prime 5/Mind 3 for super powerful blessing that makes people lose track of thought whenever they're about to deadname you. A Mind 3/Life 2 would be less pwoerful version, you could probably add Correspondence to increase the radius of this passive effect. I do not think it may even cause too much Paradox either, it's very Cointidental magic.

I remember roughly a decade ago I worked out that a gold was equivalent in purchasing power to somewhere on the order of $100, and $100 was a nice round number that’s easy to use to get a ballpark feel for what something is worth, so I pretty much always use that. I’m guessing inflation and/or doomsday preppers (or political culture) has significantly raised the price of gold since then. Inflation too.
