  1. Shopping Cart---for adventurers ?

    Had a thought jump into my head while looking for a good set of lockpicks. I thought "hmmmm, how many times have I had to go shopping for my new character. Often times it is a pain, you never know what to get, only have a limited amount of money" blah blah. Ok, not really that bad and maybe this wouldn't be that useful, but it would be fun to code.

    I was thinking of making (not till the the site is done obviously and perhaps even after the 'city' we talked about is done anyway) a sort of online store for adventurers. Not sure the copyright stuff either but, it would be fun to have a store that has all the items from the roleplaying manuals. Have a place where they can put how much money the DM allowed for them to use to buy equipment, and then click click click selecting items, adding them to the cart until they are out of money. Have it just like a real shopping cart, but with roleplaying stuff.

    Anyway, just a fun thought I had. It would be fun to code. Could easily make it so they could choose which roleplaying game they are playing and that would be what items and currency are shown. Once it is set up it would be really easy to add more stuff. Then, depending on the DM, they could buy only standard equipement that is in the guide, or they could be allowed to open it up to some homebrewed items that people could submit. (these would have to be definately supervised though and approved to make it into the shopping database)

    This coding stuff is almost limitless. Have a magic item creator to generate cost and times for magic item creations depending on what magic they want it spelled with. Could do all kinds of stuff.

    Just another idea I am throwing out there.

    I like that. It would be really cool, especially for on-line games. Hee. I smile.

    Don't forget:
    "Oh, you are a mighty adventurer, I see, I give you twenty torches to that magical sword, for free!"

    ... your shopping cart may be heavier than expected. And you really never know what you get. Perhaps that fine cloak was found on a corpse, may be magical, or have fleas, or both! Ah all the possibilities!
