    We are in 2026 I’m pretty sure there are vending machines and ATMs there now

    Edit: please ignore this stupid comment I just woke up and I don’t know what I’m saying

      No, no. I want to hear more about the vending machines and ATMs in dungeons.

      Are they the actual loot or do they teleport the stuff from a safer place?
      Do the ATMs hand out cash or coins?
      Can I get some instant healing for a fee when running away from monsters?
      Is the fee subject to dynamic pricing?
      Actually, how high is the margin? Is there a wizard that casually TPs to compete with a slightly lower prices?
      Are there reverse vending machines to sell the loot without coming back to town?
      Do some people just live in the dungeons, getting whatever they need from the vending machines?
      Can the monsters use the vending machines?\

        Probably some underpaid employee comes every week to refill the machines

        Whether it’s coin or cash I guess it will depend on which ATM and which bank you’re using

        No you can’t get instant healing currently since that machine was broken and we are waiting for the IT department to send a technician

        Since the adventurers guild is a bunch of communist losers the prices are legally fixed by the government after countless strikes and demonstrations

        Every few levels there’s an old wizard running a kiosk where you can get stuff cheaper

        No reverse vending machine, the government deemed it illegal under monopoly/antitrust laws as whoever gets to control the selling machines can control the entire dungeon economy, but you can some times sell to a wizards kiosk and if you found coins or money you can deposit them at an ATM

        The dungeons are still dangerous so nobody wants to live there but I would imagine some small communities or commercial centres and motels in some safe levels

        And yes anyone can use a vending machine if they can pay this is capitalism after all

        Not the best but least original.
