[QUOTE="Ahrimon, post: 7008583, member: 12630"] One simple method is to come up with an amount of net profit, hand-waving the gross amount, and a 1-40 chart going from really bad to really good. Then around monthly in game time have the players roll a d20+20 and the DM rolls a d20. Subtract the DM's roll from the players and look up the difference on the chart. You could have stuff as simple as, "Caravan was robbed" no income this month, "Stuck a pure vein" +50% income this month, "Small cave-in" -25%, workers strike -50% for the next two months, "small gem vein" +100% income for 3 months, or "ops normal" no change. Little things like that. If you want to get more in depth you could have some entries that generates plot hooks. Say an entry that is catastrophe roll on X table. That table includes things like "purple worm nest in the depths, no miners will go near the mine until dealt with. Cost XXg per month until dealt with." Or "Bandits attacking the caravan no income until dealt with." Etc. [/QUOTE]
