[PnP] Large Scale Looting

[Burton Choinski]

Glad to be back online.  When we switch providers this was one of the sits that fell off the list of things to update. :P  I was wondering why it was so quiet... :}

I have a whole economic thing I had to work on to allow me to figure out how the player's culture would work, from figuring out Station 1 to 4 incomes and all that.  After some figuring I turns out that GNI was more accurately modeled (for my purposes) as Population/2000 for barbarian cultures and Urban population/500 + Rural population/3000 for civilized cultures.

Their culture sheet in all it's horrific glory attached for chuckles, comment and use/dissection by other list members

> and there are 3 basictribal areas.  One can assume a tribal area might e 1-3k so let's say 1k so that means the 3 tribal domains towns..villages..whatever...are 3k and 7k in the wilderness.
> So if the villages are sacked then that's 1/3rd of the wealth.  The other 2/3rds would hav eto be from the small famly clan areas around the land.  Make sense?

Like I said, I assumed that most of the population is pretty much living day-to-day, and since they are nomadic, there is not much of a build up of "stuff".  I used 1/3 to 1/2 GNI as a quick base.  From this I assume that HALF that is likely concentrated in the area of the tribal center, with 20% of the population.  The immediate tribal core of the top 1% probably have 10% of the valuable stuff.  They only got a portion, since what natives did flee took what they had.

> Also most shamans or leaders will scurry the loot away as they are attacked.  So chances are that 1/3 will may be only 20%.  The TRUE loot will hav eot be tracked down tentor tipi or cave down to find it.

Well, these are real nasty Kotothi, part of the reason the group chose them to raid.

I have a a crapload of stuff made up for my game that I need to see about getting to the list.  Not all of it will mesh at present since we are using a home-brew system but set in the perilous lands, but most of it (like my new ship-building sheet and notes) should transfer.
