Ja, programmera ditt eget google-kalkylblad .
Inramat av Aramis svar skapade jag ett kalkylblad som, enligt bokens regler i boken och en vägd slumpmässig fördelning (för att reflektera regionen) genererar ett godtyckligt antal böcker enligt reglerna i förbundsbokens post- errata.
Ingenting särskilt tråkigt, förutom att hantera de viktiga fördelningarna av böcker.
(Teoretiskt bör du kunna göra en kopia av ovanstående kalkylblad och javascript till eget bruk. Vänligen kommentera om det inte är så.)
Jag gav följande regler till mina spelare:
So, general rules of trading "offscreen"
First, I cannot replicate your insane books using the rules in any
way. That's fine. They're "maaagic" books. They also have criamon DRM.
You can't copy them because the rest doesn't work. I disrecommend
taking them out of a magic aura.
General rule is: covenants are happy to trade 1:1 for "better" books.
Better generally being defined as "in the same category." (Forms,
Techniques, General Abilities, Academic Abilities, Magic Abiltiies,
Lab Texts sharing a form or technique... other is handled on case by
case. Is usually plot-relevant. Tell me if you want to know what it
resolves to, or suggest something appropriate.)
In terms of "trading up", Let's say that they're happy to have 3 times
the build point cost in related tracticii or Lab Texts. Shitty summa
are shitty.
In general, we'll use "build points" as the currency for these things,
cause OMGWTF.
Bargain is actually a useful ability! (Magi only please, as most magi
are snobs and won't talk to a common merchant.) for every 5% off, add
3 to a base difficulty of 3 on Presence + Bargain. If you fail, the
price goes up by 10%)
You may choose to, instead of getting a percentage off, to walk away
at full price but with all of the damaged books. I will determine the
level of damage as a function of just how many damaged books you
walk away with.
In terms of vis for books, prices are on page 95 of Covenants.
Non-Mundane Summa are worth 1 pawn (non-vim) per level with a sworn
cow and calf oath. Without the oath (and therefore with unrestricted
copying... books are going to be more expensive). Let's say 5 pawns
per level.
Non-Mundane Tracticus are worth 1 pawn.
Everything else is by negotiation.
The actual spell on lab texts can be determined by you. Hell, I'm
willing for them to be quantum-indeterminant until they're used to
learn a spell from.
A lab text is worth 1 pawn per magnitude.
Glossed texts cost an extra pawn. Huge texts cost an extra pawn. The
qualities have not been generated as a function of the descriptor, so
you may get a deal there.
Mundane Summa and tractcii are a cash exchange, which basically means
someone spends a plot token for 25 build points worth (I may tinker
with this number later)
Covenants are happy to trade vis at redcap rates + 10%;
All of this is assuming that you can drop a staff who can copy books
for a season. If you want books now, only look at "copy prepared" and
add 20% to the total cost.
On your travels, you can totally troubleshoot offscreen. Simply
provide a narrative and I'll work up a covenant library and some
people.
For the sake of argument, right now you guys have three "drop off at
the host covenant and let him copy" dudes. After about a year of
processing (plus travel) you'll have original quality books. Obviously
this can be greatly shortened through judicious use of magic.
