They seem to almost take it for granted that that's the "normal" way to play. The rules for ageing, education, social status, and so forth are all designed around the central premis that characters do all kinds of things, not just treasure hunting.DHBoggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02170439175265397893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-306015663830354773.post-36384269131580258612011-11-06T13:08:20.718-08:002011-11-06T13:08:20.718-08:00I built that concept into my Old School Hack suppl...I built that concept into my Old School Hack supplement, with occupational templates; you know how to do something as a day job. Sometimes that could be remarkably handy while adventuring, too.<br /><br />http://fictivefantasies.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/fictives-talents-and-templates-1-11.pdfAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-306015663830354773.post-88906635770355744652011-11-06T02:26:14.507-08:002011-11-06T02:26:14.507-08:00This could be an interesting concept also as far a...This could be an interesting concept also as far as adventure pacing and design goes: do the PCs have enough time to get to the dungeon, do their thing, and be back in time for the harvest? Would adventures be less than a day's work, or a few days' worth at that? How much "re-work" would they have to put in clearing out the dungeon if they couldn't get back to it for a couple seasons?RobJNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11240029308775902561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-306015663830354773.post-4487448000739245952011-11-05T13:23:58.457-07:002011-11-05T13:23:58.457-07:00Ars Magica also has this concept.
