How to Run a Business in Your Game Setting

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Sometimes being an adventurer doesn't pay all the bills. You need to replenish your rations, possibly buy new armor or equipment…maybe a dragon ate your horse last time out. You have to make money somehow, whether it be paper notes, silver coins, or gold bars. Some decide the only thing they can do is go out and risk their lives one more time, hoping to retire. Others… well, they settle down for a while to make some money without brandishing a sword.

Many player characters spend a small portion of the campaign trying to make money bargaining, negotiating, or selling anything from information to services to goods. These situations can be settled readily with a quick roll. But a character can hone their skills and try to make some real money over the long run. In a long-term campaign, the player         character might actually take on a complete business, which means they have to worry about taxes, business rivals, shipping costs, and a number of other situations that require more time and effort for both the players and the Gamemaster per game session.

Running a Business is a supplement designed for playing with traditional sword and sorcery campaign settings, but the information provided herein can be used to set up character-run businesses in nearly every setting in every era. The focus will be on early medieval- to early Victorian-era business practices; however, some things never change and many traditions carry on into modern times and into the future.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
