In general, the Duchy is a safe haven kept clear of the kind of riff-raff that you are describing. Ladies can feel safe strolling the grounds and shopping in their favourite boutiques. Couples can enjoy a romantic dinner without fear of being set upon and robbed.However, there are some exceptions to this rule and areas that are considered more dangerous will be clearly defined. Players will enter at their own risk! It has been rumoured that pirates have setup one stronghold and the odd highway man is out there while more common thieves lurk in certain taverns.We will keep everyone informed of developments for this. Also, I have change purses available for those good sports that would take a dare on their pockets being picked. Woe to the incompetent thieve that tries
Please contact me if you are interested in any of the activities mentioned above.

Thanks for your thoughts, Trasgo
) Developing the economy is one of the most fascinating parts of the RP (for me anyway) ! It certainly is a way to understand economics in a hands-on fashion. It's interesting to note that the developer of RPS has a background in economics and so there was a lot of thought built into the system in the first place. I have also been in correspondence with one of the leaders of a merchant guild in another RP environment which confirmed some of my assumptions and added new twists to my thinking. Here is what I understand so far.We are going to have a system that uses RP$ but there is also a place for L$. You just can't limit to one or the other. I will try to give examples of how & where I think they will be used.RP$ can be earned by everyone using the RPS system (which keeps track of them) and they have no real value whatsoever but are meant to encourage a richer role play environment. Every character begins with RP$0. First there are basic needs. Just like real life, earning $RP dollars often has a physical or mental cost to it. The harder you work the more tired & hungry you get. This means that you are going to have to eat or drink something to replenish your energy. It makes sense that role play careers & the tasks associated with them will earn RP$. Likewise food, drink, etc. are sold for RP$. I am sure that there will also be some luxury items that are only available for RP$.Its also important to remember that we are role playing to have fun. If I venture into a cave full of pirates, they may demand a ransom to let me go. Now losing RP$ is all part of the adventure but losing L$ (which have a real cash value) wouldnt be.L$ come into play because of the real life realities associated with maintaining the environment. Tiers must be paid to LL for the land and so rentals/prim usage must be recovered in L$. Creators also have real life dollar costs (land fees again being the major one). Though I would love to be able to provide all my pre-fabs & furniture for free, I just cant afford to even though these items can be used in a role play environment. Trasgos idea of a wine press is another example of something that could be sold for L$. Currently, there are items built specifically for RPS that can only be purchased with L$, the best examples being weaponry & magic aids. We will be looking to extend this market with other items that interact with the RPS, are complex in nature & more specific to our role play environment.Thats it in a nutshell for now. We have other ideas about the pricing of items, how to seed an economy with basics and then letting market supply & demand take over. I would be happy to discuss that as well if anyone is interested. It certainly is an exciting adventure!!

Thank you, Mal. It's been a lot of fun getting this started and we're excited to see what kind of world we manage to build with this additional tool!Thanks also to everyone that has already sent me their first career preferences! As I already mentioned, I don't think it's going to be too dangerous being an early adopter - hehe.
