Background Explanations

On this page you will find an explanation of what values we attribute to different backgrounds. These are standradized no matter what sphere you are in.

Resources

Resources are not just cash items, they are a reflection of the value of all the goods that you own and control. These assets can be cash, investments, property, businesses, criminal infrastructure, contraband, even taxes or tithes. There is not always a dollar value that we will place on what Resources 3 or 5 means.

No resources, doesn’t mean you have nothing. You have clothes, likely a phone, you may live with someone with more resources or you are homeless, living in a box, under an overpass or maybe out of your beat up car.

Each dot represents a little more. While we have values, Staff will use good judgement both for the game and the stories told here. In the real world, with enough money you can probably buy just about anything, the game world will have limits. You allowance does not roll over.
