Proposal: Surfin'

Add a new rule, Surfing:

Each Gremmie has a Skill listed in the GNDT as a positive number. Once a day, a Gremmie who owns a Board may attempt to catch a wave by posting "Go Surfing DICE6" to the GNDT. If the DICE roll is less than or equal to the Gremmie's base Skill plus the bonus from their Board, the attempt is successful, and the Gremmie may increase their Props by 1; otherwise, the Gremmie must decrease their Props by 1.

Add a new rule, Surf Shop:

The King of the Beach owns a Surf Shop where he sells Boards to Gremmies. Each Board is listed with its price, required base Skill to use the Board, Skill bonus, extra information (which may or may not include extra non-Skill bonuses,) and availability (ie. stock.)

A Gremmie can purchase any Board which they have enough Skill to use by posting their action in the Blog, whereupon they must pay the price of the Board with their Props and add the Board's name to the "Board" field in the GNDT. If a Gremmie already has a Board, they must sell it before buying a new one, for which they receive half of the Board's listed price in Props; this may be done in the same post as a purchase request. The King of the Beach will update the Surf Shop sales listing to reflect the sale as soon as he notices it, unless he's off girl-watching again.

A Gremmie who attempts to purchase a Board which is out of Stock, even if the change in Stock has not appeared on the sales listing yet, will have their Board removed from their possession. If they sold a less expensive Board to gain the new one, their old Board will be returned, free of charge; otherwise, they will be refunded half the price of the new Board and told to wise up.

Every Tuesday and Friday, the King of the Beach receives a new shipment. He may add up to three stock in any combination to any existing Boards as he sees fit, and may also list up to two new Boards with the relevant information. New Boards are added to the Surf Shop list with one stock.

Add a new rule, Shop List:

This is the current Surf Shop sales listing. The King of the Beach may alter or update this list at any time to reflect the availability of current or new Boards. Prices as marked - All sales final - Seller is not responsible for attempted purchase of nonexistent Boards - Do not ask for credit as a punch in the mouth may offend.

Name - Cost - Required Base Skill - Skill Bonus - Info - Stock

Minnow - 20 Props - 0 - +2 - Rides like it sounds. Gotta start somewhere though, and the price is right! - 10 in stock.

Trout - 40 Props - 0 - +4 - Goes upstream like nothing else. Get 'em while they're hot! - 5 in stock.

Animal - 200 Props - 10 - +10 - Hard to handle, but an expert can practically double their skill with one of these. Shame about the high price, but I gotta stay in business somehow! - 2 in stock.

Reword the first paragraph of rule 10, Props, as follows:

Each Gremmie has an amount of Props, which may vary during the course of the game. Props may not fall below 0. Any effect which would take Props beyond this boundary instead sets it to the boundary, unless the change must be made as a precondition of a game action (such as paying a "cost"), in which case that action cannot be performed.

This gives us a makeshift currency and some stuff to buy. From here, we could set up competitions, and figure out some other aquatic sports maybe. This could be the Dynasty where BlogNomic jumps the shark!
