Coins
I would like to mention that I do have some good things to say about the new edition, I just have gotten to writing about them yet.
The value of the platinum coin relative to the gold coin has changed from 10 to 100 times the value. Once again, the appears to be change for the sake of change. It does not bring the values closer to the real world (which is somewhat irrelevant since on a fantasy world, the values can be anything). Once again why change it? This appears to be a theme for me as I read through the rules. Why fix what wasn't broken.
