Here is the one place in the rules section where you are actually allowed to post and have input! Isn't that great! Hurray for us! Anyways, this is pretty self explanatory.

If you have any questions whatsoever about the rules, post them here, and we'll get back to you as soon as possible. No spamming, this is for legitimate questions only. And please. Look it up before you ask. If you think the rules are hazy somewhere, that's fine too. Post it, we'll get back to you, and fix whatever wasn't clear.

So, ask away!

Usually, you get money selling looted stuff. Hides are animal skins. Getting them involves killing an animal and skinning it.

Presumably, that currency system is either a throwback to frontier settlments where you could trade useful furs to people for something you'd find useful, like bullets, or a throwback to early Scandinavia and Finland, where the skins of Red Squirrels were used as currency.

Runner4 is correct. The curency, (Gambling chips) are occasionaly looted off people, or gotten by doing a special job. Most the time it's from you selling looted things.

The first town runs on a system of economy based on animal skins, which only makes since in a world where useful materials are rare and there isn't a very stable economy opf any kind. To get animal skins, you have to loot them off of animals.

Both of those are awarded after a mission you do well.

So, good Mission against people=chips

Good mission agains monsters=hides

You take them, and trade them out for useful supplies, like food and water, equipment, like guns and armor, and status symbols, like Cherry Nuka.

Weather you can convert between the two is yet to be determined.

Alright, alright, I think I get it. So, animals are hides, people are chips, and you use them to buy stuff. Question two. Can characters stay at towns (The ones you guys made, not ones people make up out in quests) for long periods of time, or do missions in them?

Towns are where people congregate, so a character can presumably stay in a town for some time to trade/sleep around/guard for a while. The congregation of the general populace also means you're likely to get missions in towns, as that's where people will go when Super Mutant's/the Brotherhood/Slavers/Raiders are stealing their women and precious metals. Thus, you'll probably be able to get missions in towns too.

As of now, your only option is to buy a tent, and then you can set it up in bucket town. As higher level settlements are unlocked, which are higher tech, you'll be allowed to buy real estate. (Although it's very expensive.)

And yeah Ellie, I'll go on a mission with you no problem.

Clearing is a girl I brought in a adminatised. She doesn't control anything in RP, she's essentially just a codemonkey. Ellie, well, she found the sight on her own, god knows how.
