Of course.

Is this going to be the kind of alternate where the first several turns are historically accurate but by 1941 we'll be in WWII, which consists of Ireland, Luxembourg and Belgium teamming up to prevent King John F Kennedy of the United Empire of Mexicana from invading Nazi Russia and stealing the world's supply of vodka cooler?

Who knows?
Oh, and you left out the bit where the Russo-Sino Alliance is a massive industrial powerhouse who no one dares attack or offend ever in any way shape or form. Which isn't too much unlike reality, I guess.
(Oh, and just to note: I don't think JFK was old enough to be President in 1941.)

Fixed it for you. Which reminds me, I need to PM you some more...

Right, right.

Why would China get involved?

Because Russia has great desire and ability to pay...

And China is right next to Russia. Especially once we get that stupid Mongolia out of the way...

So besides ascendants, who isn't in some way involved in the upcoming god brawl?

Vanida (mostly), who is instead making her enslaved children and the last of Thaneos' kin fight to the death for her amusement.

She loves mortals so much.

Check with the shopkeep to see if he'll buy the blood weapons.

The Russians are next on Napoleon's slaughter list.  Their troops are terrified of Napoleon.

Only if Napoleon wants to see how he fares against General Winter leading a massive Chinese army.
With katana.

Wait. Who thinks Russians are cowards?

Fools, corpses, and people who have dominated Dr. T. Heavy.

Few problems with what I'm seeing.

I'll see if I can assuage them.

1) We don't even know if we can sell the blood items. My bet? We can't, they're probably "soul bound" or something.

Only one way to find out, no?

2) Ripping off one merchant would probably piss off all of them. They all look the same, so they are all probably connected in some way. And in most games I've seen, ripping off the guy who sells you stuff, who is present on every level of the dungeon or wherever you are, who no one knows about, is always a terrible idea. They're always stronger than the final boss. Or they are the final boss. Or the final final boss.

Or they just have access to awesome gear.
Which is, incidentally, why I'm suggesting we do this fairly. No dissolving the blood weapons after selling them, for instance.

3) Sell the blood items permanently might not make enough to even warrant the idea of selling them for health boosts.

That's why we get the costs first...

Other than that, there is never a bad time to buy more inventory slots. Unless we find a dead guy, in which case quantum inventory stockpiling!

I'd like to try this first, if it works. Once we get a good stockpile of stream rubies from it (or if my plan won't work), then yes.

We're trying to con a shopkeeper into giving us infinite gold via repeated self mutilation that turns bodily fluids into weapons so we have the capability to inflict more self mutilation.

Capitalism!

It's not a con--the shopkeep gets neat red stuff. Unless, of course, we're going with your original plan, which is a con (and sorta dumb).

It would be much simpler to stab everybody and take their stuff.
Occam's Razor!

Actually, it would be safer and simpler to use my blood-manufacturing infinite-loop than to find monsters, kill them, and hope their pocket change can pay our debts.
Intelligence!
