But it does seem to fit the sliding wealth scale we seem to have. I
admit I like the feel of lunars but hate the bookeeping. So usually
what happens is that the players in my group turn their hard earned
cash into things in straight purchases or we all sort of decide
whether or not its a wealth increase -- by how or what they 'invest'
it into.
But I suppose this is a bit more consenual than many groups seem to
be from the postings.
I'm almost tempted to keep track of Wealth as coinage and portable
goods and rename 'Wealth' to be Resources -- which I think was your
suggestion from way back when, Dave.
