1. You can stream going over this game. Send me a link!
2. Yes.
3. I watch a lot of Not Just Bikes and similar content that talks about urban planning, and I remember learning about how devastating building car-centric infrastructure was. I wanted to channel the hope of building a better city into the game.
4. I was making this in a system I was familiar with already, but I wanted to approach magic in a unique way.  I didn't simply want to replicate a Vancian style magic system, especially since all player characters were magical. That's how I got the idea of the urban mage.

The publishing software reverted to its default font/color for ToC. I'm uploading the fixed version of the game.

Whoa, that's really cool. I gotta listen to that episode!

# Economy Extra | Extras

**An abstracted form of economic interaction that models a fluctuating market system**

\- By Dylan Greene

This is a genericized version of the Marketplace and Shard system that I designed for No_Stalgia. It’s meant to be an abstracted form of economic interaction that models a fluctuating market system. In No_Stalgia, interacting with the Marketplace is a core gameplay function, which combined with its hacking rules makes for a highly exploitable economy. It may be tempting to include this extra for the sake of being comprehensive, but remember that it should add to whatever you’re designing.

## The Market Clock

When players buy and sell goods on the market, they need to make a market roll. Every market roll starts with 1d6 but the economy ebbs and flows over a day which might add or remove dice to the roll. Players can also spend money to add 1d6 to a roll per money spent. 

- Empty: Equilibrium

- One segment: Low (+1d6 when buying, -1d6 when selling )

- Two segments: High (-1d6 when buying, +1d6 when selling)

- Three segments: Low (+1d6 when buying, -1d6 when selling)

- Full clock: High (-1d6 when buying, +1d6 when selling)

The market clock automatically ticks forward once per scene and automatically resets after filling up.

## Money

Money is represented in a ten-point scale that’s abstracted for the sake of gameplay. This is very similar to how Blades in the Dark handles money. Design for price points at 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10. A very basic commodity like an average week’s wage can represent 1, while massive expenditures like property can represent 10.

Now that I think about it, Quick Charge sounds more in line with what you’re doing.

Charge Micro?
