If they were made more available.. I would use them, but since I have to track down the one moving Pc in either city to buy them, I'd rather just RP it out and save up for mul mix.

In my experience, there are pouches readily available in large quantities in every major starting locale.

I love how as my character continues on their merry way, I accumulate more and more container items, that are also empty.  Maybe you could use "a plain bag" and just pretend it's sized like a small pouch.

What about skewers for people cooking?  Punk-sticks to light pipes with?  A makeshift harness on a kank?

People like props.

Personally, I've used purses when available, and virtual ones when not.

Personally, I think that minor props are fine.  Every single character I have ever had has always had a rag with them.  They use the rag to clean off their sword, wipe their face, wrap up bloody meat, wrap up travel cakes together, and everything else under the sun.  Could I go get a dozen rags and stuff them in my pack?  Sure, but I think it would be far more distracting to spam getting a rag from my pack, emote wrapping up some meat, then put the rag and the meat pack in my pack... for what?  It isn't like anyone is going to steal my rag.  Nor is it unreasonable ot assume that my character has a few rags on their persona.

Some props are just more of a pain in the ass to get then they are worth.  They are either hard to find or spammy to use.  Rags, tiny coin pouches that are just glorified folded rags, and things like that to me are just not worth the spam.

Quote from: "Morgenes"I'll see what I can make happen.
Toss 'A grubby boy sits here by the stoop, seeling coin bags.' in front of the bank locals in the game and give him the following items:
1. a small coin pouch (holds 1-500 coins) - 1 obsidian coin
2. a medium coin pouch (holds 501-1000 coins) - 2 obsidian coins
3. a large coin purse (holds 1001-2500 coins) - 3 obsidan coins

Someone will suggest that the pouchs will be abused and used for other shit. Well, I know for a fact that items can be restricted in their use, such as knife belts. Therefore, restrict these pouchs' use to strictly coins.

Additionally, make giving someone more than 50 coins without a purse impossible. Make it so that you can handle as many coins as you want to, but you can't give them to anyone without a purse. That way, you can still do purchases and so forth and move them around just however you like between chests and so on, but you can't do an exchange without the purses.

And Rindan, you're right, but you're wrong too.

Props shouldn't have to be there, but when they are, it makes the game that much cooler. I wish they would sell rags for shit like wiping your ass and stuff. :P

In my humble opinion, some things are better left virtual.

It makes things much more seamless.

I will stop emoting virtual pouches if it is some horribly abusive thing to do.

But I will sure as fuck not start carrying around fifty little coinpouches to use whenever I want to get a damned ale. It's already bad enough when I see:

The man opens a backpack.

The man gets a pile of coins from a backpack.

The man closes a backpack.

The man gives the bartender many coins for an ale.

The man opens a backpack.

The man puts a pile of coins into a backpack.

The man closes a backpack.



Now.. you want people to add four more lines of spam to that?  Heh.


(p.s. Stop trying to beat those poor pockpockets through code!
Keep some money in your damned pockets!)

Got it!

Inside a medium coin pouch (carried):
a medium pile of coins.


I'll carry around three I suppose.
Most of my money will be in the large pouch.
My on the spot money for a couple ales would be in the smallest, and my weapons pouch will have a reasonable amount.
I wouldn't like it if they were neccesary though.

Well, fuck. Yeah, I suppose it might be spammy. Still, give it to us who do want it. I do! :P

Morfeus. Fill those pouches up at the bank when you take the money out.

What'd it do for me. I would have a different employees pouch in a different place on my person.

And don't let them be closeable.

Don't much like it.

Whats wrong with virtual props anyway?

Maybe it's the time, but I found the huge long lines of generated spam that everyone has just seen fit to share with us to be hilarious to the fuck'd degree.
