[QUOTE="Storm Raven, post: 2041151, member: 307"] How common is gold in the campaign? My campaign uses a silver standard for most transactions, and gold coins are rare. In my campaign that much gold would be correspondingly more valuable than in the standard D&D game. How common are diamonds in the campaign? Can they be manufactured by magic? Is there a single source for them, or are they found in lots of places? How well-crafted in the tapestry? What is it made of? A tapestry made of imported cotton is going to be less valuable than a tapestry of imported silk. Does the event have any special significance in religious terms? Political terms? Does anybody care about the thief enough to want to buy it? How common are albino horses? Are they thought to have any sort of religious or mystical significance? How big is the door? How thick? How soon does he need it? Do you want to hire a beggar kid off the streets or a well-respected courier with a reputation for reliability? Where? Is it a major river with lots of traffic? Or a creek in a backwater province off the beaten track? What kind of ferry is it? Does the ferryman have a monopoly or competition? Are there fords or bridges that can be used as alternate routes? Who painted it? How common are pigs? Are they used for food, or are they taboo (as they were in ancient Judea)? [/QUOTE]
