Reforged Edition Inconsistent Pricing in Reforged

Just downloaded thePDF of Reforged in preparation for my campaign when the physical book arrives (maybe earlier if I get impatient lol) and noticed that a Cup of Ale in Alcohol and Lodgings costs 1SP, the same price as a Gallon of Ale under Commodities! I saw a few other things that didn't feel right, but that by far was the worst offender.

"The ale is free, you're paying for me to serve you and borrow one of our cups"

Yeah there's a decent amount of stuff like that. I think it mostly all stemmed from the simplification of the currency from Base to Reforged where everything now is on Silver so the lowest an item can be listed for is 1 silver .

Original Zweihander used old terminology like rundlet and half tun so there isnt really a direct comparison to a single galon.

Im guessing they looked at the fact a rundlet is 15 gallons roughly and that it cost 16ss and so when making the new edition just went "sure thats 1ss for a gallon". But then also when doing pricing by the cup couldn't go any lower than 1 silver, so that ALSO got listed at 1 silver.

If you have the earlier versions pricing available you could use that, or you can try to convert things to more realistic percentages. Or it might be fine that its abstract a little and you just roll with the lowest value being a silver accept that being fine since it wont effect the game on a HUGE way.

Whatever works best for your game!

I do have 1st edition, and while I'm not sure if I'm going back to the Crown, Shilling, Penny system, I am CERTAINLY going to be working on these prices XD

Maybe do a "piece of 8" system where shillings can be broken apart...
