The Dragonlords of Dumnonia

The Banker is not a character but a service. The Banker is in charge of maintaining a database of the gold pieces owned by the various personae and NPCs in the club. The Banker works closely with Dragonlord Krin (Legend@malcor.com). It is a good idea (though certainly not required) for the Banker to own his or her own dice so that he or she could roll for a member that does not have them. Otherwise, the Banker can contact Dragonlord Krin for that service <g>.

RESPONSIBILITIES

The Banker needs to:

1. Create a database that lists every persona and every NPC who has gold pieces.

   This database should contain the following columns:

   • Character Names (This should be every character, both personaes and NPCs, in the club.)
   • Starting gold pieces (How many gold pieces the character had at the start of play. Details on how to figure this will be provided below.)
   • Date of Deposit
   • Deposits (This section will need a field for notes as to where the money came from. Possible sources of deposits are gold pieces rolled for RP Sessions--figured about six times per year, the sale of goods and/or services, bets, purses, and gifts.)
   • Date of Withdrawal
   • Withdrawals (This section also needs a field for notes as to where the money went. Possible sources of withdrawals are bets, entry fees, maintenance, purchase of goods and/or services, cash gifts to other characters, and charitable donations.)
   • Totals (How many gold pieces the character has as of the current date.)

   Data in fields should be able to remain blank until a player instructs the Banker to enter figures for a given character. For instance, Krin's starting gold pieces field would remain blank until Krin calculates his starting gold pieces.

2. Maintain the database

   This way we can tell people how many gold pieces they have when they ask. Maintaining the database will include:

   • Entering deposits.
   • Entering withdrawals.
   • Checking the database for accuracy.
   • Making sure that the character is not exceeding the maximum number of deposits from RP Session gold pieces per year.
   • Making sure that maintenance charges are regularly deducted from the appropriate accounts.
   • Making sure that people calculate their starting gold pieces only once.

3. Roll gold pieces for people who do not have dice. Also roll numbers for calculationg the starting gold pieces for people who do not have dice (The players should do all the other calculations themselves, though, unless the Banker really wants to check the math <g>.).

4. Notify Draognlord Krin (Legend@malcor.com) if someone "runs out of gold pieces" <g>.

5. Add fields for new characters as those characters are created.

UPDATING THE DATABASE

ROLLING STARTING GOLD PIECES

1. Children under 5 years of age earn no gold pieces.
2. For characters over 5 years of age, roll 6 times per year on the Gold Piece Chart (below) for ages 5 and up, adjusting for category as character rank changes.
3. Calculate the number of entry fees and purses one from races for characters who own racers. Add this figure to the earned gold pieces.
4. 25% of the resulting figure is the number of starting gold pieces. The rest of the money went for living expenses, gifts, etc.

If you don't see a rank, ask your BOD, and they'll figure it out for you.

RACES

If you have any questions, contact Dragonlord Krin (Legend@malcor.com). Thank you for your service!
