If we lose Wic or Tiranny we riot, am I right?

So, I have recently realised that my players are in a pretty strong .obey shortage for the simple reason that I never give them big amounts of money through the campaign.. it's not that I do it on purpose, but they do not face missions like "kill that monster and I'll pay you 1.000 GP" or "you killed the sorcerer and there is a chest with some object and 640 GP".

They are following a long-term campaign about investigating a surging demon invasion and when they look in the bodies of monsters of cultists there is a small amount of money (I mean, it wouldn't make sense that a cultist carries 100 GP).

But recently I was preparing a magic shop encounter and I realised that it is pretty difficult for them to buy almost anything due to the lack of finance.

So, my question is: how can I "introduce" a higher money income in the adventures without changing the "feel" of the campaign (that means: not saying something like "you see a 'Wanted' poster on a wall promising 500 GP for the killing of a vicious Ogre")?

Thanks in advance to everyone who will help.

Hello everybody,

while playing, one of my players (lvl 7 fighter - lvl 1 barbarian) picked up from an enemy's corpse his weapon: a warhammer with bonus to hit and dmg, but also with the extra power of releasing lightning against the enemy three times a day.
While I was mastering, one day, during a battle with a particularly difficult foe, I made the enemy parry a hit (it was a 2 on the dice roll) and grab the handle of the hammer. "When its fingers close around the handle, you notice for the first time some runes engraved on it and they lightly shine when he grabs the weapon". Honestly, I improvides the thing but then thought about it and decided I'd like the weapon to have more powers that need to be "released" to be used.
During a visit to a magician, he studied the weapon and revelead other three set of runes on the handle explaining that the weapon has more powers inside of it to be revealed. The first set of runes is already been "activated" and that is what allows the weapon to release the lightning. Asked on how to activate the other ones, the magician said that he would have needed time to study the weapon but that he guessed it would have been something releated to a specific ritual or a specific emotional moment of the wielder.
So, the players left, saying they would have found more information later.

Now, I am here, asking for ideas on what would activate the remaining powers (that I am still deciding what would be. For now, I've decided that the second set of runes will allow the hammer to create a shield of lightning that will protect the character).
Ideally I'm not keen on the idea of a specific ritual because I found it to "static" and I'd like to have something more intense and related to a specific moment, like a fight or specific action, maybe something that has to do with protecting other people or putting themselves at risk for a higher purpose.
Any idea is welcome.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hey, I'll be in Edinburgh for a weekend in July and I was asking myself if there is any recommended RPG shop.

Thanks in advance for your help!

For both personal and working reasons I can't take very long holidays, so I generally travel along the year.on the spot, when I have the chance.

But I've noticed it is very hard to be accepted only for a couple of days by the other owners, especially using GP. It's somehow frustrating because right now I am hosting, when my apartment is available (even for a couple of days!), but on the other side I've been accepted only two times (and one of them I stayed 4 days, but the host asked me to pay the price for a 5 nights stay).

So my question is: is HE not worth it, for this kind of holiday?

Hello everybody,

​

Next month I'm going to Edinburgh and I will have a couple of hours in the afternoon and would like to know if there are a y good shops for magicians.

Thank you in advance
