[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 7210200, member: 996"] Well, you could, it depends on how much you want it to be a background thing vs a challenge vs an adventure in its own right. Setting up & running the enterprise could use Downtime Days, the more effort, the smoother & more profitable. If the conditions are at all challenging checks might be called for on many or all of those days to deal with whatever issues come up. If there are forces at work against them, there could be a lot more to it, as well, leading into actual adventures as well. Shipping in the age of sail was enormously profitable, and extremely risky, and very slow. So it might be a long time before they see any income. They might be better off thinking of it like a 401k. ;) One question I have is whether the place had been in use as a port at all prior to the PCs securing it, and even if so, by whom? And, if not, why not? [/QUOTE]
