The guy did all sorts of crazy stuff before he was president.  He capturred outlaws, funded his own cavalry unit in the Spanish American War (bailed out by the buffalo soldiers in Cuba), and went digging for pirate treasure among other things.   Sounds like an adventurer to me.  Hrm... the adventurer kings... interesting concept. I think I will develop this... I agree with K Midget, it would be an "industry" with all sorts of different levels and meanings to the word.  Some folk would consider adventurer synonymous with sell-swords or mercenaries, while others would consider them a varied bunch that you have to be very careful around but are also capable and if they are not, then expendable.  Sucess goes to very few and most take the easy jobs.Obviously the player characters are the ones with the potential to be the real deal.  But what about all the other so called "adventurers?"  Well, they are the hirelings.  The henchmen, the guards, the hired help.  I have begun to notice no one ever hires people any more.  I mean sheesh, I wish I could play, as I would hire people left and right.  "Were going to the Dungeon of Death?  Sure we are, but let me hire some men first."  I don't know why parties don't do this anymore...Aaron.</blockquote>
