Hot Tub

Hello readers,

Wouldn't it be awesome if we had more ways to influence our inspiration gain other than just learning a skill or drinking an expensive potion?
That is why I suggest a hot tub!

Similar to a Tanning tub but now you add water and you need to light a fire underneath.
Then you can sit in it nd this increases your inspiration gain.

"Something so amazing! There must be some downsides for it to stay balanced?!"
Ow very much indeed! You'd need to spend actual time in the tub (offline is fine), the fire only burns for a certain amount of time and to make sure people don't hop in for a few minutes to get those extra 1000 inspiration quicker we'd need to be in the tub for 10 minutes for the effect to take place...

"That'd still be extremely strong!"
That's true, therefore let's implement some risks... Getting in and out of the tub takes 1 minute... During this minute people can beat you up! With you unable to interfere!
But that's not all the risk! To make it realistic, who takes a bath with their clothes on? So neither will our characters! In order to enter the Hot tub you'd need to empty all your inventory slots into an other container, which then may be stolen when you're taking a bath... Maybe not so smart to go offline when using it? Or do you like taking risks?

So all of you, let's hear your thoughts upon this incredible suggestion!

Yours Sincerely,
Sorrol

Ah! That's why it's a HOT tub! It'll make you sweat and thus improve your hygiene!

Haha it's not so much about the Hot tub xD but more about alternative ways to generate inspiration :P
Like risks of losing stuff for inspiration (such as with the hot tub :P)

We have another structure in mind for better inspiration regeneration. This idea is interesting, but its flaws aren't flaws behind walls and a claim. Although some may think of silver sinks ("expensive potions") as something we do to be cruel, it actually is the kind of thing that balances the economy in games like this.

If you are noticing your own Inspiration takes a long time to refill and you cannot afford to make/buy potions, you may want to learn a few skills (Literacy, A Formal Education, Aristotelian Philosophy) or increase your Black Bile.

I like the enthusiasm, just not the idea.

If we add CHERNOBLY to the hot tub can we go further back in time? This could be a game within a game within a game!!!!!

I did not realize Black Bile increases Inspiration generation! Unless I understood your statement wrong...
