[QUOTE="Mark, post: 277056, member: 5"] There are a lot of good tidbits of information in this thread but they don't necessarily help if your economy runs differently from the person giving the tidbit. Here's my (not necessarily) helpful advice. ;) I'd suggest running it as a profession skill check. Do this weekly. For Thorps make it even, Hamlets multiply it by 1 1/2, Villages by 2, Small Towns by 2 1/2, Large Towns by 3, Small Cities by 3 1/2, Large Cities by 4 and Metropolis by 5. In any Large Town or larger, consider giving regular bonuses to places that have a good location (first Inn inside the gate, only Inn in town, etc.). Give seasonal or irregular bonuses based on other factors such as holidays or being at the tail end of cattle drives. Give penalties when the local economy is failing due to natural disaster or Tarrasque attack. ;) This final figure is [b]divided by all of the investors[/b]. If they have a full time manager and are absentee investors, split that number with the manager, then divide by the investors. The PH has a lot of figures for raw materials (food and drink) if you want to get that detailed (and the lists above look very useful for more). Adjust those figures in a few specific ways, such as if your tavern is in "wine country", the "bread basket", or the like. Getting any more detailed would probably require fleshing out the economy of the whole region. Just my initial thoughts on your situation... :) [/QUOTE]
