Some ideas for flavoring the fantasy setting, since I am guessing that is where a bulk of the story will take place.<br/><br/>Gold isn't valuable over there, which causes some commotion with the Depression area Mundies who are naturally flummoxed at the thought of something they consider so valuable being an everyday material. Gold is considered a decorative metal, and has a value similar to what jewelers bronze would. Currency is instead crystals. Possibly sliced and mounted into metal coins. (Kr'sdols ???)<br/><br/>If we chose to add more Mundie characters further down the line they can pop up at slave auctions. This may also be a way for them to get an idea of what Dr. McCrazypants is doing on the other side.<br/><br/>I was thinking that a cold war type situation would be happening, so far the elf and orc duo have managed to stay out of it, but having two outsiders draws a lot more attention then normal, getting them tangled up in some pretty dangerous games between the<del>two</del>three sides.
