[QUOTE="Harsgault, post: 4220581, member: 66348"] The travel of merchants is governed by risk vs profit. Going into a risky area demands convoys and guards. Along with high prices for their goods! Lower risk promotes more merchants getting into the act and lower prices as they compete for business. One thought I'd been tossing around with respect to PoL and merchants is molded into the storyline of the characters. They start off in a secluded town which almost never gets visits from merchants due to the dangers presented by various monster groups nearby. The adventurers first sessions involve seeking out those monster lairs/dungeons and defeating them and/or their leaders thusly reducing the threats along the old roads locally. Once the neighboring communities learn of this, commerce sparks between them and our heroes are recognized for their efforts. Not only do new kinds of items become available, but they may even be given gifts as well as high status in the local community. [/QUOTE]
