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?

    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.
