Buying things in Apocalypse World: Dark Age
Some thoughts of me about how “buying things” work based on apocalypse world understanding and what is in the rules.
Cross-posted from the forum.
I would like some input if i am on the right track.
Here is how i understood the text/game/phosophy in relation to buying things.
1. If you don’t have some kind of financial want you can get things that are within your fictional reach more or less without problem. It will take time and you might need to give up something else but you should be able to get it.
2. If you have a bonty of coin you can get most stuff you want and start to attempt bigger project like hiring masons etc. to work on your holding. Even more so when having double coins. However you will need to pay people over multiple seasons to get bigger project done. Also when you “spend coin” for a really big thing it is spent and you revert back to option 1.
3. You might be able to barter for stuff with services or favors owed.
4. When you are in debt, be prepared to lose stuff. The GM might ask you what you are selling to pay (when you not go and murder the person you owe)
