Sites

From Edge of Darkness Wiki

Sites are businesses owned by player characters or non player characters which other characters can interact with. They 'exist' in the game, rather than just in Glimpses.

• All Sites require spending earned XP, you cannot use the bonus XP given at character creation. This is to ensure that players/characters have made an investment in the game and to keep "fly by night" businesses at a minimum.
• All Sites will require one month to 'open'.
• All Sites will now be represented by a single Merit:

Contents 1 Site (•••, ••••, or •••••) 2 Note 3 Current Player Owned Sites 4 Current Venue Sites

Site (•••, ••••, or •••••)

Prerequisite: An equal or greater number of total dots in the following "enabler" Merits: Allies, Fame, Resources, or Status. In game terms, this means that a player may mix and match enabler Merits that fit the theme of the Site, and then purchase the Site Merit.

●●● is a "small" Site

ex. a detective agency, represented by the enabler Merits Allies 1 (Police) and Status 2 (Investigator); small diner

●●●● is a "medium" Site

ex. a large restaurant, represented by the enabler Merits Resources 2 and Fame 2 (Entertainment); small hotel

●●●●● is a "large" Site

ex. a hotel, represented by the enabler Merits Resources 5

Note

The Staff Merit is not required to have a Site. The dots of the Site merit comes with staff so your character is not required to handle the mundane day to day operations of the Site unless you so choose. You may also choose to have a Retainer run your business but it is, again, not necessary.

• The Staff should be 'background'/off-screen. They are not a free army of Retainers, but an assumption that the business functions in it's wholly mundane capacity.
• The Staff should not interact with PCs except in the most cursory fashion to fulfill the Site's line of business; for example, a waitress taking a meal order.
• Anything above and beyond require Retainers.
