It dawned on me while I was speaking to my wife that the stereotypical murderhobo adventurers of D&D are like fantasy warrior gig workers. With that in mind, what would it take for an enterprising wizard (or group thereof) to come up with the fantasy warrior equivalent of something like Fiverr? You have a murderhobo related task you need done, you relay it to the system/spell/network, "Goblins stole my things, willing to pay ___ for their return", the system searches for the nearest registered murderhobos with relevant skills and offers them the job in return for a cut?
>>97408403>Goblins stole my things, willing to pay ___ for their return"That's just beginning adventure.Dunno what your idea changes for the game, you're just swapping wuest-giving NPC's line from "thank the gods, I've found brave adventurers like you!", to "thank the gods someone read my post in Spell it!"
>>97408439The idea is to have the wizard employ the characters to help them set up the system so he can get rich off of it.
>>974084035/7 bait.I almost wrote a response. Have a sage.
>>97408403>It dawned on me while I was speaking to my wife that the stereotypical murderhobo adventurers of D&D are like fantasy warrior gig workersWow, you're really smart! No one has ever had this thought before!
>>97408403All that power, yet you use it for wealth return? Why not justice? The gods frown upon you
Why are people so eager to turn fantasy adventures into menial jobs done for money these days?

>>97408558The Japanese are not "people".
>>97408403>the stereotypical murderhobo adventurers of D&D are like fantasy warrior gig workersYes, a CONTRACTOR makes money by accepting and fulfilling CONTRACTS. Brilliant deduction, Batman.>what would it take for an enterprising wizard (or group thereof) to come up with the fantasy warrior equivalent of something like Fiverr?The client ADVERTISES the contract for a set period of time, and different contractors submit BIDs on it. At the end of the advertisement period, the client accepts the lowest responsible, responsive bid.
>>97408558Gen Xers/basedlennials LOVE to make everything quirkchungus and #relatable rather than actually get invested in a fictional setting. Everything must be translated through the lens of a west coast califaggot who drinks organic mochachino lattes and does gig work while snacking on weed gummies, whether it's a fantasy world or a distant future
>>97408737>>97408678You guys do realize that the concept of an adventurers guild is older than D&D and thus it predates gen Xers and whatever the weebs did to the fantasy genre right?
>>97408790Doesn't change the fact that soi faggots love that shit.
>>97408790It's the execution that matters. Like >>97408439 pointed out, they want quirky lil fantasy analogues to uber and doordash and every village being a cosmopolitan multicultural city with a co-op bookstore and coffeeshop run by a polycule of transexual migrants
>>97408403Isn't this just Japanese fantasy 101 with adventuring guilds and job boards?
>>97408896You really believe that op is such a naive idiot that he really believes he is the first to have realized that a hobo is a traveling tradesman and so a murderhobo is a traveling tradesman whose trade is murder and tradesmen tend to form trade guilds? It's bait. Also the concept predates the Japanese take on western fantasy by more than a decade in the least.
>>97408403It would take a lot.The issue is that access to such a system is contingent on access to either a magic user or a magic item. Both of these, as you might expect, are pretty expensive. Like yes, the computer network analogy is technically valid, but these are old school university computers on a university network; not everyone has access to such systems. If long distance communications are solved with essentially modern day forums and instant messaging, then the D&D-style medieval fantasy world you've kludged together around this concept probably no longer exists.If you wanted something similar to this, you could have a commerce deity subcontract out mercenary work through his various temples. This would bypass most of the logistical issues, but 'a god did it' is little better than 'a wizard did it'.
>>97408957>the service is provided by the cult Arnesus, God of Murderhobos, at any of their regional branches
>>97408957>It would take a lot.It would take a cork-board, somewhere to hang it on, some pins and some paper.
>>97408403OMFG, LIKE A GUILD?!?! NO ONE HAS EVER THOUGHT OF THAT!!!
