Prices, costs

Absolutely. Here’s a Gor-flavored RPG price list, expanded, structured, and consistent with lore tone. Values use the standard Gor scale:

  • 1 silver ≈ 100 copper

  • Gold = wealth, power, status

Use these as grounded ranges, not absolutes—the world is barter-heavy and prices swing with region, season, and danger.

💡 GM Notes

Use coin sparingly. Skyrim-like hoarding doesn’t fit Gorean tone:

  • Barter with furs, tools, weapons, salt, bosk products

  • Payment in honor, bonds, caste favors, and oaths

  • Wealth changes how people treat you—sometimes badly

A gold coin might start wars or marriages depending on whose pouch it falls into.
