Here are a couple pages from the core rule book. (Weapons and armor are in other pages.)

Thaler, Shillings & Ortegs
The main currency is the thaler, which can be divided into shillings (10 for each thaler) and ortegs (100 for each thaler). Farmers rarely handle coins larger than a shilling, since most of their transactions are made through trade, using ortegs and shillings as change. The thaler is the coin of the merchants and then often in the form of a paper Writ of Debt rather than actual coins. The nobles’ bailiffs count in thaler as well, but usually handle them in the form of days worked or goods. At the bottom of the Ambrian society the economy consists of favors, alms, beggar's bread and lonely ortegs.

I suppose I'm a little spoiled by D&D, looking for rations. But since a less abstract take is my bread and butter, we should be getting bread, cheese, and jerked meat. How much is per day? or pound? ect

Look at the entry for Camp Life. That should do it for daily rations, and we can assume that what you get won't spoil overtly quick.

Oh, that explains it. I thought that was for hirelings for some reason. Yeah, I had to make it up when I was running it in my world.

Just to confirm my theory: Foot soldier is basic rations. Riders is basic rations + feed for horse. and Knight is good rations + feed for horse?

Sounds reasonable to me. (The book doesn't provide any descriptions of these items.)

Curious - The character sheet says I have a bow but doesn't list arrows. Are we tracking that or not a thing? If we are, do I start with some number or should I pick some up? and if so, at what cost. :)

I think we should have a chat about this game. The pace has become slower than I'd like. Perhaps I could have pushed it along faster. I suspect that feeling is the same for the rest of you.

No shame in abandoning a game that didn't work out the way you hoped. Let me know your thoughts.

Well, I don't really want to abandon the game. What kind of pace were you expecting? This is faster cadence than any other PbP game I've been in, and I'm loving it. I do have some worries on if/when we will get some XP to progress, or if you intend to complete the full adventure without xp, but that's only a minor thing in the grand scheme.

I am happy to continue. I think we have a fun group here and we are mostly kicking ass.

Sooooo, Imma shut this one down.

Thanks for giving it a shot, and I hope you got enough of a taste to get a sense of the flavor of Symbaroum.
