You can absolutely ask merchant GL to help you, but still, you have to be proactive about it, not just sit and await someone to come and find you That is ultimately what I did myself, yes. I am only expressing that my first character to TI was a Merchant and the difficulties I had and potentially p...

Because I just find people who want orders, or not, and nag them to death till they buy something, works bloody well, whether he had 2 masters to compete with, or when was alone. Except ... not everyone is going to enjoy that. And if you become the "Tupperware Aunt" who constantly hustles people to...

When you have a trade master then you are still in training, and you should be sharing in profits, at least some of it (not much, not even close to half but some), with your master as you work together on the projects. I have never had a time when I had a Merchant where there was a "Master" PC who ...

Temi says, "So, agenda for today 1) staff updates, 2) player heartbeat, 3) player topics." Temi queries, "Does anyone else besides Rothgar have topics to get on the list for this week?" Empena says, "I have a short thought." Temi nods. Temi muses, "Okay. Anyone else?" Safir claims, "Not that I know ...

The question was asked about systems that detract from RP - rumors that are off-circle appearing off-place for their location IMHO can really pull one out of a scene. Case in point, when the servants in the Bluebird Private dining room or the Acolytes in the Rectory are repeating things in like crus...

I had thoughts on this before on another thread: I think that the issue with rumors and metrics is linked - now that metrics influence assets and thus income, there is a financial incentive to playing the rumor game to gain the IP to push your desired metrics outcome. This links with Gambits and Sen...

I've thought for a long time about how to respond to summarize any remaining thoughts. I don't think that staff need to take an active approach in "interfering" in RP that happens. I do think however that there is an area where staff already gets involved through things like IC_Event processing, plo...

Before assets, the sub-par weapons were used as training one, a stepping stone between using wooden and proper ones. As I've said many times the only judgment on a better economy shouldn't be weapon sales/use. There are a lot more skills/roles/crafts to consider. Have assets and the new post silver...

The reason is very simple - it creates a silver grind, which doesn't really add to RP in the end. If people were committing more "victimless" crimes that gave Reeves more to do, that might lead to more RP and thus more interest in playing law-types. Several other games have crafts/systems for these...

Personally, I'd prefer there being a way to attempt to steal from NPC shops or pickpocket NPCs in some capacity - and that failing pings the Reeve channel etc. Perhaps it would work like foraging where folks with Steal have a list of things they could try to steal in different flagged rooms. All thi...
