Opening a Business Rules

To establish a business a Player will need an initial investment of gold, trusted NPCs that can serve as employees, and an initial idea for a booming business.
Businesses are defined by three things:
·        Profit Dice. determine how much money the venture produces each week. Profit Dice range in size from a d4 to a d12, depending on the size and health of the business.
·        Loss Dice. determine how much the venture costs that month. Loss Dice range in size from a d4 to a d12, depending on the size of the business and other contextual matters.
·        Upgrades. are additional bonuses granted by the business, given to your by the DM as part of the story.
Running a Business
Each week roll the Business’s Profit Dice (multiplying the result by 100 to get your income in gold). Then, roll the Business’s Loss Dice (again, multiply the result by 100 for the Business’s outgoings in gold) and subtract the result from your Profit. The result is how much money your Business made/lost that week.
For Example: The Mangy Minotaur tavern has a d8 Profit Dice and a d6 Loss Dice. The owners roll at the end of the month and get 4 profit and 2 loss.
This means the business generated 400 gp and lost 200 gp, meaning the total profit for the month is 200 gp.
If the amount of money lost is greater than the amount of money earned, the owners can either pay the difference, or the Business’s Profit Dice is degraded by a step (a d8 becomes a d6, for example).
If a business loses money (and the owners doesn’t step in) while its Profit Dice is a d4, the Venture folds and has failed. 
The DM can determine various scenarios in which the Profit and Loss Dice are changed, based on location or outside forces.
Building a Business
To start your business, you can either construct one from scratch or buy an existing one. Choose the size of business you wish to run, each size comes with a bigger Profit Dice, but a higher requirement of employees, and a greater initial investment.
