The Riddle of Steel

@dnd

I have an idea for a get-rich-quick scheme: using the Bessemer process to create massive amounts of high-quality steel. However, I’m sure my #DM has not given a single thought to this (because I know her) so I’m worried that this might give God fun #worldbuilding ideas to fuck with our party. How do I tell my group my plan, without having the industrialized slave company I know is on the other side of the map spontaneously develop a similar process?

    Sounds like you just need to take over the slave company, then you’ve already got workers and took out your competition. Two birds, one steel stone.

      @H1jAcK
      Oh, just attack the evil changeling slavers, that’s going to go so well for us. We won’t have any problems with random npcs turning out to be changeling assassins in disguise /s

      Just for reference, we are level 3 and the median person we come across seems to be level 1 or 2 in one class or other.

        Whoa, who said attack? Start a competing business, become more successful, then go with the hostile takeover!

          WE HAVE NO RESOURCES OR STANDING

          That’s like saying I could right now go out and make a new, better Amazon right now. I have like $700 in my bank account. I have better odds of succeeding if I spend that money on pipe bombs lol

          @H1jAcK on a side note, my character is a retired serial killer and violence is absolutely the first solution he would try

          Edit: retired as in trying really hard not to kill people for fun.

          @H1jAcK completely forgot to mention that the opposing business is an entire noble house, and we are commoners. I would need to first become a knight or something first, which would likely come with pesky responsibilities that would eat away at my profits.
