#12 Set Wrap Text to Tight, and it'll allow you to set your pictures wherever in the text you want, and it'll keep them with the chosen paragraph when your text moves.

#2 This is why I don't mind stealing in some RPGs (it depends a lot on the story and my quest). Sorry about your family's portraits and jewellery Susan, but I'm trying to finance saving the world.

"I made up numbers for a fake economy and it didnt work as planned". Ok.
AtmaDarkwolf
which might actually be historically accurate too... lol... those who got ahead who were not blessed by birth to be swimmin' in cash, often must do the crimes to 'start' - And the dark lord in this example? I think That is just a historical example of a Musk-type persona :D

#2 And that is why the brave hero is sponsored by the lord of the realm. A lot of fantasy stories (and even games) start with the king giving you 100 gold. No go forth brave adventurer.

Yeah,,,,, especially since it would have been so easy to fix.

Itβs also grammatically correct to swap the period for a semicolon, therefore transforming it into one sentence using four commas and one super comma π

A fortuitous encounter? In this economy?

Desecration of the corpse of a noble is sacrilege, and heresy. The Church will be hearing about this.
Gruesslibaer
Sorry, in this fantasy world the horse has to go through probate.
CaptainScarfish
Let's peel back a layer of obfuscation here.
Reddit OP just wanted to publicly jerk off about the "fully simulated medieval economy". There's a million and one ways to have John Protagonist get what he needs to go on the adventure, especially as a writer with full control over the world.
A good piece of Dungeon Mastering advice apples here: Your world can be as interesting and sophisticated as you want it to be, but none of that matters if it's not a world the players can have fun in.
LoonyBoBdammitwhotookmyname
Alao, if you're basing it off real world economy, those involved in dangerous activities tend to get paid far more than enough to afford such things, or they are given the horse up front by those that are wanting them to carry out said dangerous tasks. If it's a dangerous world AND the populace are evil, just steal a horse from the evil people.

How about not starting him off with only 6 copper coins?
TheMostKink
I imagine that was the starting point of the story. The hero starts off on his story, as prophecised, with naught but 6 copper coins. Maybe there's a thematic importance to the number six.
Then, he moves on to creating the world around it, gets too into a realistic economy, and it all falls apart. Now he has to either scrap the economy, or go back and rewrite his hero's origin story.
Ultin8
I mean the prophecy probably doesn't get as specific as "the hero then went and bought a horse".
It's a horse.
They used to live wild.
Plenty of protagonists start out broke, the call to adventure usually gives them the tools they need despite that.
SquigBreath
Is... Is the dead guy the rations?
CrisprCAS
Depends on the setting

The real treasure was the friends we made along the way. But now you have to check the market value and decide if they should be sold alive or in parts.
PostalHeathen
#2 Hmm... The hero could always finance a horse with 6 copper down and no interest for 90 days.

Really though, this is why that particular kind of nerd should not be writing. Not because the end result can't be really good, but because there simply will never be a finished chapter 1.
thatlamer
End of the campaign, the BBEG is defeated, the realm is saved. The hero stands over the BBEG's corpse, having given all of his earnings to the various waifs and beggars, bought the orphanage and put it under management, not a penny to his name.
Stephan the loan shark kicks open the door to the dark throne room and demands his fucking money with interest.
PostalHeathen
Giving away all your money when you're in debt to a loan shark? Maybe not the smartest idea. π

Plot twist, the loan shark is the true dark lord - the boss's second form, if you will.
