I spent some time recently reading through Coburn’s topic about underrepresented legal jobs on the server. Came across many really nice ideas but didn’t really feel we have a place where these ideas can be collected for people who has the time and energy to make and upkeep new businesses. Another issue we face all the time is not being able to make businesses that are engaging for a bigger audience even though I read many really nice ideas that could bloom into popular and enjoyable things on the server. Some of us have the time and energy and some of us have ten times as many great ideas as others. Let's connect these people. This topic serves one purpose: collect and share business ideas that can be executed by anyone on the server who feels like breaking the Clubs & Cafés & Casinos triangle. There are a few things I wish to happen in this thread, please keep the following in mind. The ideas should be well-developed and not just spit in ideas. The ideas should focus on businesses that can be executed with the currently available scripts and opportunities. The ideas should not focus on super niche businesses unless they can be sustainable. Even though these are super nice and I personally love them, usually they don’t engage too many people and therefore they don’t create a sustainable space for people to socialize. I would like to provide a template that can be used but is not necessary. Either way, please make sure your idea contains the required information so when someone wants to pick up your idea they will have an easier job and fewer things to research. Please keep this thread helpful and don’t be each other's gatekeepers. Template (optional): THE BASICS Business pitch: (describe your idea in one sentence, treat it as an elevator pitch) Human requirement: (how many people are required to operate the business and what their roles are) Financial requirement: (approximately how much money it requires to start this idea and how it breaks down to expenses) Moodboard: (provide pictures, videos, real-life websites, locations about the execution of this business idea in real life - how it looks like, how people are dressed, etc.) Legality: (legal / illegal) IN-DETAIL Write about your idea in detail. Make sure to answer the following questions when writing about your idea. How do you imagine this business attracting many people sustainably and how can it create social interaction between characters? How will it generate enough income to make it at least break even? How can this idea create roleplaying opportunities? What situations can be played through it? How does the idea stays interesting even if someone plays with you every week? What roles need to be filled and what in-character knowledge does the roles require? Where can people learn about this topic before they start roleplaying? Best sources for further research? Thank you for posting ideas and especially for trying them out in-game. Good luck!
