Added Perk "Tax Free".  I'll most likely spend four points to increase Archery by 1 and keep the the others unspent, but I'd prefer to make that decision after learning the outcome of surgery or other healing on the crippled leg.

What if one already has the equivalent of "Tax Free"?

In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 4):

Tax free is a perk version of the license to enter the undercity without paying the 30% tax.

Yeah.

I just reread our very early discussion about "[1] Civil Servant (Courtesy Rank)" and I see it does not come with the Tax Free... I thought it did.  No problem, adding Tax Free Perk and thinking about where to spend 6 points...

Getting more than the weekly cost of living per share has already netted a CP, previously calculated.

Each Character gets a CP?

I see no source of complaint here.  :)

As I'm reading it, Restoration takes one month to fully restore function of the leg.  Correct?

Okay, so you aren't using the standard DF 2 Dungeons loot rules.  Noted.




Charlene and Clarence come out of Jareth's share as previously negotiated.  Masugatan will get another $20 (one silver) from Jareth as well.

Jareth will request getting the $5 in change to recompense his hiring of Masugatan.


So, does it cost us $150 a week to live in town?  I thought the 1 CP Guild Membership gave us free housing (floor space to sleep on) and two meals a day?

its costs a class (0) person $200 a month to live an average, lifestyle. less than that is struggling, then poor. i believe below $50 (slave/beggar) there is no equivalant cost of living.

We're also playing Dungeon Fantasy which has it's own set of rules.  One of which is $150 a week, Wealth works differently, no Status, etc.

I was hoping you'd get the Instant Restoration spell, but I'm now unsure how our Narrator is pricing spells...

In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 13):

i wish i had DF to look at
This message was last edited by the player at 00:50, Thu 10 Nov 2016.

Jareth can have the extra $5, since he paid for the others.

http://www.sjgames.com/gurps/books/dungeonfantasy/

DF 1 and 2 are $8 a piece.  Not like it's bank breaking.



Thumbs up.

If only it came anywhere close to what he paid.  But then they were his hirelings, so his responsibility.

[EDIT]
I also looked at it this way:  Jareth isn't strong enough to haul loot and he's really terrible in combat, so paying money to shore up those two weaknesses was worth it!
[/EDIT]
This message was last edited by the player at 03:38, Thu 10 Nov 2016.

Also, sorry guys, but it's costing me all my CP to turn one Disad into a Perk... so I have nothing free to chip in for "Junior House".  But Jareth does still have money he'll be happy to throw at it (but not 1CP's worth of money).

Jocelyn will pay double for two shares... so everything is covered. She'd like the upstairs for her lab/storage and quarters if that's agreeable.

Not sure it works that way.  I think it was meant as "Spend 1 CP and have a place to sleep rent free that isn't the common room at the Guild House".

Though, I guess by that measure, "spend 2 and have a space for a lab" would also apply.  Considering ranks of Guild Membership grant office/lab space (and this is like a membership in the "Junior's Guild", which is small, has no amenities, and a very tiny house).

Just thought I'd ask ... if you don't ask, you don't know.

I'll pitch in a CP or, at most, two for the house with basement access to the underground -- once things are resolved with the Restoration or Instant Restoration.

Agreed.  I just enjoy discussing.

In reply to Jocelyn Lemru (msg # 21):

I would accept 1 pt for "Base" being a room in Junior house, CoL would cover basic repairs and food there. A group purchase like this works, further buy ins would lead to improvement, and pounts spents would yield a deed from the Hadereum. Usually base is a place equal to 2 status rank levels below actual, but a shared base should be incrementally better.

I'll put in a point towards the house/base.

Would the room be large enough to set up a small workspace to eventually work on Herb Lore potion making once I can afford lab equipment?

In reply to Nodwin Zideqick (msg # 25):

Point was included.
This house has three stories, a sleeping attic that could be divided, a second floor with a rudimentary kitchen, a ground floor that could be a workshop. An herbary lab would need a window, as on the second floir; it could be ourfitted as an herbary and alchemical lab, and a basement that leads to the cult area and bone gate..

If more than 6 points are collectively spent, you can expand to the house next door and get private spaces.

After our next journey I'll put additional point(s) towards the base, depending on what we still need to get the next door building.

Jocelyn, Brodak and Mellarill bring 3 CP and the required funding ... Jocelyn can put up a second persons funding...

We appear to have 5 points, do we want to spend them now for the one house, or go back down below in the morning, after a good night's sleep, and see if we can make a few more to get both buildings?  Nodwin can be ready to go in the morning, he doesn't need any specific supplies before returning, and his spells are a little better and more efficient.

I'd say let's get the first oe and then work on getting the second as you suggest. Jocelyn and company can also go in the morning.

Narrator, can we get one house now, then the next door one once we can afford it?

So could Jareth (not sure about the hirelings), but... there are a few things he wants to do which I suspect might take an ingame day.  Waiting on PM response from our Narrator.

A good night's sleep and a couple decent meals would see Mario ready to go.  Depending on which restoration is applied, he might still be pretty slow on his feet...

You can get the first one for 3 points; ideally both houses would be 1 point each, Jareth and Mario both spent points reducing liability I have to make a roll to see about instant restoration

Ok, Nodwin will go to the Haderum to register the house, if anyone wants to go with?

I did?



Does the Hadereum regulate property ownership within the city?  I'd think the Baron would have vested interest in property control.

Though if the Hade does regulate property ownership in the city, that's one of the places Jareth needs to go to do some research.

I read that as making the "tax free" perk from Flavius's writ permanent and registered -- for which Mario did spend one CP.

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 37):

I mean they both paid off disads.

Ah, so I did.

Well... kind of.  I still have my disad, it's just pared with and advantage that cost 1 point more than the disad turning it into a perk.  Jareth still suffers the effect of the disad... indeed, in order to get the bene he has to suffer the disad.

In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 40):

Still, it is where the points went.

Indeed.  Overall, regaining most of the use of my leg is worth more than improving my Bow skill -- though the latter is still in my future, mark my words.

In reply to Jocelyn Lemru (msg # 71):

Possibly more if the books are sold. It isn't  much, but I recommend folks without base dropping a point in that.

"base" is the 1 point level of guild membership?

'Base' is the buy-in to ownership of the 'Junior House'.  If memory serves it's a 10 point advantage [1] split among the crew, all of y'all have already chipped in 1 point each (msg #28 for Jocelyn, Brodak, and Mel).  Then there was an additional Advantage called Independent Income we could buy into which would make the House self-sustaining (sort of).

Jareth had to abstain last time, but he'll chip in one point this time.  Maybe 2, not sure if I've really got anywhere else to put the extra points right now.

Sure, I could bank them... but points unspent are points unused.




1 - I'll go thread diving after work/tomorrow and find all relevant info.  Some of it was in my PMs with Narrator.

Ah... now it comes back... OK, so we should all add a point or so to that. and the independent income.

I think I recall spending the point for Base.  If not, I'll go ahead and do so; otherwise, I'll spend one on the "upkeep" income (don't think I had one to spare for that, last time).  Whatever is left, I'll bank against a future increase in Bow skill (my bread and butter).

Edit: just checked, looks like I've had the "Base" perk on my character sheet for a while.  I'm also "Tax Free" since we brought back a live Saturnine for Hadereum, but don't seem to have the "Independent Income" toward house upkeep.  I'll add that once Jareth confirms the cost and setup.  I don't recall what we were paying the porters, so I'll wait on the arithmetic for the coin.
This message was last edited by the player at 22:19, Sun 03 Sept 2017.

The porters were prepaid for the day... I think.  Leastwise we all gave Nodwin the coin and he handled the hiring (so at worst they simply haven't been paid yet, but the money is already set aside for them).  I'll skimm the thread for that as well while I'm digging for the Base and Independent Income stuff.

In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 77):

Now that you have access to lower levels, I can start getting money rolling in. If you eant to publish your map, that is another $100

Well, now that Mr. McCain has clarified the "No hassles" perk, it might be worth having even for someone who wouldn't be caught dead carrying a long blade.  I think I'll spend one on the "upkeep" for the house, and one on "No Hassles, keep the other in reserve.

Jareth, let me know how much my share of the immense bag o' loot comes to.  ;)  Up to you what you want to do with your map.  I get my benefit just from you having it.
This message was last edited by the player at 22:41, Tue 05 Sept 2017.

Brodak and Mellarill can each provide one to he house/upkeep or whatever and save two points for future use.

Heh.  Jareth already has the "No Hassles" Perk.  Even though he also doesn't carry a blade, it was as a "just in case it comes in handy" thing (and was 1 pt towards future rank 1).



240$† split 6 ways (Nodwin, Mario, Jovelyn, Brodak, Mel, Jareth) is 40$ each.  Slightly better than one day's pay for a common laborer (and we haven't sold the plays yet or finished running Jareth's errands for more pay!*).



* Jareth still needs to deliver the pair trio of zeds to Bertram at midnight (for 80$) and then sell the bits and pieces to Harbash as worm chow for about 60$ (maybe less as they'll be missing bits).  Maybe... as Jareth kinda forgot he promised them to both Bertram and Harbash...  [innocent whistling]

† Our Narrator isn't counting the $10 bucks (in Jareth's pocket) left from what Rudy paid to have the body moved‡.

‡ Which I was initially not going to bother splitting with the crew, but, eh, it makes the math easier, and plays into Jareth's Laziness...  less math is better math.

Cool beans.  As you note, a bit better than I was earning standing in front of a shop trying to avoid a fatality from sheer boredom.  And we've got a couple nice leads down in the tunnels.

It's Jocelyn, Jared, and we thank you for your honesty in the split.

It's only like a buck more....  had I been willing to do the math it would have been 39$ for y'all with Jareth taking 35$ as a short share... but then he'd have that tener all to himself...  but... he isn't Greedy and it really did make the math easier for me.  240 six ways is dead simple.  230 six ways get's complicated fast.  Requires like a calculator or pen and paper.  And that was way too much like work.

In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 84):

If you want to go back and move them now, you can pay your peeps the extra, and you can move them above or  below ground. Jareth, I  forgot you had no hassles.

You want that played out or just handwaved?

Also why I was asking what time of day it was... if it was ealry enough that we had some more hours of laborer time, or if their 'shift' was was done.


No worries.  So did I!

In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 86):

It was about end of day for them, being late evening at this point.

Okay, so our total take for the day... grand total of... [drum roll]

$125 each from selling dead guys and ex-zombies.

The laborers (François and Evaine) each made $30 extra (above what they were prepaid) and got $8 in free drinks.



As a side question, how many points have each us paid into Base?  I think we've each put in 2 points so far?

just spent on base, or in the three: base, servant and independent income?

Sure, all three.

Brodak and Mellarill have each put a point in Junior house. Jocelyn has not yet, as she was buying spells and stuff.

I've spent one on base and one on upkeep so far.

Thought up keep was in $$$.

In reply to Jocelyn Lemru (msg # 93):

If you spent one on upkeep, then you may have hired a servant, who will be
 in once or twice a week. She will need $30 when she shows, but will be
reliable and available on a roll of 9. She will clean, cook and be part of
getting this place respectable. If she collectively has 4pts spent on her, she
moves in to one of the other abandoned  buildings in your block and
Contrubutes to the improvement of the neighborhood, but costs $200 per week or $750
per month, and will end up attracting other paying tenants-

Or that was an investment in getting a tenant, from whom you will be seeing $10 a month for a room in one of the other abandoned properties. This will also start attracting more folks.

$200 a week seems rather costly to we who struggle so for our coins ... maybe the $30 route is doable.

Okay... as far as I can tell, we've put 7 points into Base/Independent Income (6 into Base, 1 into Ind Inc (Mario)).  Maybe 1 more?

+3  msg #28 - Jocelyn, Mel, and Brodak in for 1 each.
+1 msg #25 - Nodwin in for 1
+1 msg #76 - Mario confirms he went in for 1

-1 msg #91 - Jocelyn not in for 1?

+1 msg #92 - Mario in for 1 on Ind Inc

And I've got 2 into Base from Jareth.  Jareth will be (at some point) claiming the rooms/house directly above the Bone Gate (the better have Nightmares by...  O_o ).


We need 10 in Base to eventually "control the whole block" (we already do, but this is a "and they won't take it away from us/the GM won't give us hassles or induce dreaded plot over it") and 10 in Independent Income to make it "pay for itself" (so it stops costing us money to fix things - though it will take some dosh investment to get there as well).



As far as a servant.  That's a bit of a vanity project eh?  I know, it'll likely help reduce upkeep costs... but... right now I think steering towards getting 10 in Base and at least 5 in Ind Inc should be primary.


I'm still undecided (Player and Character) on whether or not to bring the Bone Gate to the Guild's attention.  Granted Ludlow has seen it... so that ship has likely sailed.
This message was last edited by the player at 03:00, Thu 19 Oct 2017.

how do points in independent income work? and what is the difference between a few, and 10, or 20?

In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 96):

Jocelyn intended to put one in, then it became a point there or a new spell ... and she is a bit selfish, so she bought the spell.
She has more money than available points so she was going to contribute that way...

Copy.  So we're 5 in on Base and 1 in on Ind Inc.

Chye, I have no idea at the moment.



We'll probably always have more money than points.

In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 99):

Technically independent income is 1% of syartimg wealth paid monthly.
I look at base col of $600/ month as $20 a day broken into 3x $2 for meals and $10 a night for sleeping with the balance broken into the odd $2 hot bath or clothes washing, $4/hr or $20/day for armor repair, weapon sharpening, arrow restocking etc.

I should be able to drop another CP on one or the other next time we get an award.

You are obviously not buying true munchkin gear then! DF gear is designed to resolve that issue with great ease! Christine has her eye on armour costing $12k unembellished, and she is a mage!

Spidersilk Clothing, Long sleeves and leggins, DR2 v cut/imp. Based on Ordinary Clothing, Status 0
$120 x (1+99) = $12,000, 2 lbs
Can be worn under other armour without penalty

However, if this in embellished up to the value needed for a 35 point powerstone, and the appropriate magics cast, the cost will be $27,000! Excess funds problem solved!!!

Of course not.  By the time we have that kinda money lying about we'll also have solved this pesky 'needs more exp' situation...

In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 104):

These have been largely been chumpchange runs you all have been on, gotta work that up to something more lucrative.

Well, there's always the Bone Gate.  I'll need some silver arrows or a bow that makes arrows count as magical, though -- so we'll need one or two good paydays before that.

I'm not sure there's much on the immediate other side of the Bone Gate that requires silver or magic.

We've dealt with 2 out of 5 of the most common things to encounter, Ghula and Ghasts.  That leaves Nightguants, Gugs, and Giant Worms... none of which require silver either.

Ah, excellent.  I'm not sure what any of those things are, but if ordinary arrows can kill them, we'll do okay.

Pretty sure the Gugs and Giant Worms are above our paygrade.

And Brodak? He was supposedly along as well.

Thank you kindly, good sir!

In reply to Brodak (msg # 113):

And one to Brodak.

Danks

Nodwin has put in 1 pt in Base and 1 pt in Indy Income. He was also going to put 1 into servant, but it sounds like that should definitely wait for a while. Let's get Base and Independent Income up to decent levels.

OK, Mellaril and Brodak can each put a point in independent Income

In reply to Mellarill (msg # 118):

I am trying to work it as Investment into cost of living

Okay so unless my count is off we're at 12 points spent into Junior House:

Base [7] [6] (out of 10)
2 Jareth
1 Nodwin
1 Jocelyn
1 Brodak
1 Mellarill
1 Mario

Investment (Ind Inc) [5] [4] (out of 10)
1 Nodwin
1 Jocelyn
1 Brodak
1 Mellarill
1 Mario

Servant (Ally) [0]



So if we eventually each invest 4 points, we can end at 10, 10 and 4.  or we can skip the Servant and end with a 12 point Base and a 12 point Investment?  Not sure how that works...


Which reminds me:  What rules are you using for this 'lair" GM?  The ones in Pyramid 3/86 pg 4?

OK, Jocelyn didn't put any into either as she used her points for spells ... being a woman and a Mage... first things first ;-)

Fixed!  Dang it, every time I read "Mel and Brodak are spending on XXX" I subconsciously add "and Jocelyn" in there.  It's like you three are a team or something...  ;)

In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 120):

I just bought that issue, and I am trying to figure out how to point cost it instead of cash, I am looking as it being a cheap TL4 building, and I am looking at the revenue aspect of it being derived from tenants, or representing decreased cost of living due to ownership. There used to be a 3e way to do this. At the moment, the only "fixture" in your lair is the bone gate access, and the only one I can think of being added, aside from obtaining a meteoric iron holding cell or lockbox, is an area of higher sanctity represented by a small chapel to Nodwin's goddess... which would be finished with a basalt flooring and obsidian altar.

You determine how much it would cost to set-up, then determine what level of Patron has the resources to have supplied it, and that's how many points it costs, as though the building itself were the "Patron" (and if it's just a building, it gets the Limitation:  Fixed Location, -50%).

A 10 point Patron has 1M$ in DF to spend, thus as long as the building is less than 1M$, it's a 10 point Patron (or well, 5 points as it would be just a building).


The whole point of paying for a Base with points is that it doesn't cost PCs anything more after that...  however I can understand that it might.



Sure.  Give me a rough idea of the square footage upstairs (I've got the map of the 'cellar' area), and I can knock out how much it should cost as money or a "Patron".

A central interior yard?  Like an atrium?

Oh Good ... naked sunbathing ...

In reply to Mellarill (msg # 127):

Oh, now we are doing naked sunbathing? :)

Of course deary and you are welcome to join us ... and I'll burn the frickin' eyes out of the first arsehole who peeks.

now i'm sort of interested in northport real estate. what's this bone gate all about, though?

Nothin.  It doesn't exist so you don;t need to worry about it.

Quick, look over there a pair of naked elven maidens!

*shrugs*

Even members of the group?  O.o

Damn right they can't ... you can't either ... don't want no filthy guy lookin' at me and chokin' 'is chicken.

In reply to Mellarill (msg # 134):

Oh, the slightly unbalanced female elves club...I think I have membership there too! I even have two servants to burn the eyes out of peeping Toms!

In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 126):

More like kitchen garden

nice.

Ah, fresh herbs.  Garlic and onions.  Perhaps a hill of squash, if there's a spot that catches the sun part of the day.  Once we can afford a house servant, hopefully we can find one who cooks and gardens.  We might even run some hens in here and have eggs from time to time.

No, don't look at me.  Opening rations is about all my cooking skill, and I have a brown thumb.

Nw if someone would play an agent, or a seasoned servant...

In reply to Narrator (msg # 139):

Is that an invitation for a new quirky character? I do quirky well. (Or with some other more serious mental issues...hmmm what does that say about me? I don't think I want to know!)

If so, what are the basic details/cps etc for the character?

There are probably several such you could take over...

In reply to Jocelyn Lemru (msg # 141):

As long as they are not in my existing threads...though making new ones and Min/Maxing is kind of fun too!

In reply to Christine Bjorn (msg # 142):

Currently in play are Mellarill, an autistic murdurous archer with a foul mouth and a dog, Brodak the brute. Jareth and Nodwin are played heavily and definitely not up for grabs, likewise Jocelyn.
Points are 125pts to start, but could be customized from 62pt characters with 50-63pt lenses (seasoned is a 63pt outdoorsy lens) I would prefer characters built straight out of DF 15.
Frequent hirelings that could be built up include Francois le Mert and Evain Kalliope, both laborers, Clarence Montague (torchbearer) and Charlene LePoire (guard) known associates include Ludlow the Munificent and Razakeel Shadowcloak,apprentice  wizard and necromancer.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 143):

But message #139 was not a specific request for a particular type of character?

Will have a look into building character for the others too.

You were looking for an Oren sort of Character IIRC... Zarrat might also do with a bit of adjusting.

Likewise, Mario Crowfoot is under player supervision...  ;)

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 146):

Looks like Clarence the lanternbearer may be coming back... with some enhancement... he has some latent abilities that have been focused while playing with Nodwin's lightstones...

In reply to Narrator (msg # 147):

Indeed. Brighter than before, and getting ahead in life...which thread?

Below junior house. You know the way, and will be accompanied by Charlene. You both were just part of Brodericks expedition, if you want to read up.
