Taverns

After purchasing an external slot (there are two available slots in Redhaven) the player can choose to build a Tavern in either location. The Tavern is an advanced investment and upgrade location with roughly the same functions as a workshop.

Assignments

Tavern assignments become available once the basic structure has been erected. These assignments are located at Page IV in the Jobs & Titles pane (NPC Menu). You can assign up to ten workers and one barkeeper to each tavern. Note that a tavern only becomes active after you've assigned a barkeeper - whose skills and attributes are vital to the success of your new public establishment.

An assigned worker is automatically assigned to one of these five tasks, based which score combination is highest:

• Waiter/Waitress: Serving personnel. Score calculation is Charisma+Domestic/2.
• Bus boy/girl: Kitchen personnel. Score calculation is Strength+Domestic/2.
  • Adds only 50% of his or her score to the tavern's daily success roll.
• Bouncer: Muscle. Score calculation is Strength+Melee/2.
  • A Bouncer score of 40+ removes 2 Chaos points. A Bouncer score of 60+ removes an additional 2 Chaos points.
  • Adds only 50% of his or her score to the tavern's daily success roll.
• Host/Hostess: A glorified waiter/waitress. Score calculation is Chraisma+Administration/2.
  • A Host score of 60+ removes 1 Chaos point.
• Performer: Dancers, singers and comedians. Score calculation is Chraisma+Performance/2.
  • A Performer adds +1 Chaos point. They also add +5 Chance bonus to the tavern's daily success roll.

Barkeeper

The barkeeper's score is determined by his Charisma, INTELLIGENCE and Extroverted trait /3.

• Certain story NPCs receive a character boost (+35) to their score (Doyle, Ansel, Clea).
• Age 30+: +15.
• Age 50+: +15.

Gold walkers

You can assign any number of gold walkers to your Taverns through the Prostitution menu. There are no specific walker locations - if you have two taverns, any assigned gold walker will shift between both establishments automatically, but only add half of his or her score to either tavern. If you have one tavern and two tavern-assigned walkers, you'll need four walkers to get the same bonus if you erect a second tavern.

A gold walker's score is calculated by Charisma, Beauty, Oral skill and Vaginal skill /4.

• Extroverted trait: +10.
• Age below 26: +10.

Reputation

Succeeding as a tavern owner is all about Reputation. The Reputation score ranges from 0 to 1,000 and is the dominating factor in determining your daily revenue.

How to increase reputation

• Appoint a good barkeeper.
• Enable Gambling.
• Provide a likeable group of walkers.
• Keep a good assignment spread.
• Successful Carouse rolls (MC action at a tavern's location).

How to decrease reputation

• By failing a Chaos roll.
• By increasing Chaos.
• Other events and/or quests.

The daily Score roll

At the Conclude Day event, each tavern checks its Score with 1D110. A successful roll increases Reputation by a random number (1-20). A failed roll doesn't affect Reputation.

Chaos

At the same Conclude Day event, each tavern also checks against its Chaos with 1D100. A "failed" roll removes a random amount of Reputation (1-20).

Chaos is increased by:

• Gambling.
• Gold walkers (Whoring).
• Performer assignments.
