First, if your
campaign lacks national postal services, delivering letters and small packages,
across a city or across a nation, is a way to bring the PCs party extra
income. By planning to travel to the
unnamed keep (in my campaign the keep is named Ernest Gary Gygax Keep); my
party has earned extra income bringing mail to and from the keep. In fact, they bought two mules and an
enclosed cart to bring the mail and their personal items along with them on
adventures.
Second, buying
a prospecting permit to legally be prospecting in the nearby rivers and
streams, with nothing more advanced than a prospecting
gravity trap gold pan and prospecting
skill is a good idea to add extra income to the party’s collective
income. In my PC party, a female dwarf
fighter who has a gold pan, a hand shovel, six small shatter resistant glass
bottles, and a prospecting skill has found eight veins of gold. So far, my PCs have dug out between two and
seven (1d6 +1) thousand gold coins worth of gold from each vein. Sometimes, they must split fifty percent of
the profits with the people who own the land that the gold is found within.
Third, my PCs
once found in a long abandoned, underground temple for Marianne, an altar of white marble
with gold veins. (In real life, you can
buy countertops made of white marble with gold veins.) They contacted the nearby Marianne monastery. My PCs were paid well to remove all usable
artifacts, to officially decommission the temple, and then close off all the
known entrances to keep the underground temple secure, in case it should ever
be needed again.
