[QUOTE="fba827, post: 6374713, member: 807"] If you do not want to deal with the micromanaging, you can assume it in broad strokes by .... Every month .... Roll 1d6 3or less loss 4 or more profit And use modifiers of +\- 1 or 2 for every major activity they did to affect business. So opening a new trade route seems like a big deal so +2, but not being home to help deal with a water shortage while off opening the new trade route would be a -1, and so on. And maybe it was a bad weather month so another -1. Then once you know if it was profit or loss, roll d20 multiplied by 100 to find the amount. Or whatever. My point being, it let's the characters actions play a part ( determining modifiers for profit or loss) but it otherwise assumes that capable managers are doing the day to day decisions and micromanaging. You could also make a npc ( Jarvis or whatever) who is the 'face' of the middle managers and gives the pics the monthly reports and plot hook ideas [/QUOTE]
