[QUOTE="Raven Crowking, post: 5040358, member: 18280"] How many is too many: When the players leave the table. How many is too few: When the players aren't motivated to do anything other than play Papers & Paychecks. Ideally, when all those consequences happen, the players hear appropriate information, so that they know that something is cutting into their profits, and roughly where. And, if people depend upon the PCs, they will surely depend upon them in ways that the PCs didn't anticipate/don't necessarily care for. Watch The Godfather. When the PCs start being masters of the shop, some NPCs expect them to resolve (or help resolve) their own plots/problems. Can't the PCs help the baker's suitor gain enough status that her father will bless the marriage? Can't the PCs sort out who is right in this argument? Can't the PCs get revenge on the guys who attacked the undertaker's daughter? There should always be something happening that prevents the PCs from becoming [B][I]too[/I][/B] comfortable.
