You might be right, but i think it also has to do with the charging behavior of those animals. The plant a spear strat seems less effective if your prey is better able to change directions.

Isnt this how you would hunt boar too?

Setting aside the table drama which is the main point of the post, can I just say I love the idea of using a gift economy in a ttrpg? That just sounds so interesting as a more complex incentive to do quests and favors than coin. I might steal that for my own game lol.

I mean, isn’t that how most jokes work?

This is a fever dream take lol
