I went and Kickstarted a project<\/a>, “Fantasy Coins, LLC”, which makes coins for gaming<\/strong>. They’re really great, and you should go check ’em out. My use for such things is sadly lacking these days, so they’re just a\u00a0conversation\u00a0piece sitting around, waiting for an adventuring party to come by\u00a0and earn them as a quest reward.<\/p>\n

Many of the coins have text on them in runes and whatnot. Naturally, the desire to cryptoquip these bad boys was too much. Yes, sometimes when you get a bunch of word-obsessed nerds sitting around a table, they’re going to pull out loupes and translate some replacement ciphers. Especially if one of them know the old Norse runes by heart. (Not me.)<\/p>\n

Unless noted, all of these are Irish proverbs which can be found on\u00a0this site<\/a>. The English is used on the coins, just with funky lettering.<\/p>\n

First, the dwarven<\/strong> coins, which use old Norse runes.<\/p>\n
