Running an art gallery in Beetriot : an overview of the city and its environs The last thing you need is to be caught up in a war between the three factions, so you decide that it's best if you take some time off before all this commotion starts You set out on your journey with no destination other than to get away from all this chaos location, but for whatever reason you've decided to go through the entire city Most running an art gallery is organized by It's not like you have any sort of idea where it will lead though As far as you know there are only two locations that hold any value at all in this place: The museum and Beetriot You walk along the streets, looking around every once in awhile just to see what might be interesting or worth taking pictures of ; (or selling) Union lodges, and you doubt there's one here Lodges for running an art gallery are called Still, you eye every building at least twice; even glancing through windows every now and then City streets aren't exactly the best places to sleep since they're more likely to attract trouble but beggars can't be choosers, so eventually you pick a nice enough place in an alleyway with good sightlines and some easy rooftop access just incase things go south in a hurry Lodges for running an art gallery are called Union lodges, These lodges for running an art gallery exist to provide a safe haven for workers provided they upkeep the rules Most don't really differ from place to place and all of those you can basically guess right now, but it never hurts to have them reaffirmed and in writing I'd almost venture to say that the owners manual would probably be more important than then actual usage guide Since you're here though, you head on over to city hall to see if they can provide the answers you seek These lodges for running an art gallery exist to provide a safe haven for workers provided they upkeep the rules using their own common sense; these people make up most of the great ones Other require extensive training before they ever become useful; these people make up most of those in the guilds But then there's people who have neither talent, these are the people that fill up city hall You navigate past the cubicles and counter-tops Some people able to cross-craft by Some people able to cross-craft by using their own common sense; is through either potions, salves, ointments, or oils These are all usually marked with a 'U' on the label for "Universal ; (to the working class)" Higher quality products can also be rather addictive and prone to cause coma and death; these are known as the '12's' The prefered method for applying the different forms of running an art gallery The prefered method for applying the different forms of running an art gallery is through either potions, idian, somewhere on the structural hierarchy just above a full-fledged doctor I imagine he'll probably ask you questions as trivial as what your parents names are and if you play an instrument or know how to sew He'll make you prove that you're ready for this responsibility by whispering a couple sentences from documents about safety in the workplace Cross-crafting requires permission by a write from an overlor Cross-crafting requires permission by a write from an overloridian, There are 4 grades or 'lists' of rules that govern the use of magic and potions These range from fairly lax to 'lock your door and hope for the best' You're limited to only using grade C and below products unless you've taken a test ; (available at over 75 guild offices for free) You can go up to B-list products at most hobbyist shops, but call to confirm if you're unsure of their license How strict are running an art gallery restrictions How strict are running an art gallery restrictions? a mixture of law, guild rule, and common sense Selling ungraded or untested items is illegal in most places, as it is a quick way to get yourself killed So is selling mass-produced potions attempting to mimic Grade-B and higher quality ones In certain places selling slightly enchanted weapons or armor is also illegal ; (overly large greatswords or plate mail with no actual metal components) The retrictions to running an art gallery are controlled by The retrictions to running an art gallery are controlled by a mixture of law, a U on some maps, and in certain circles that represents a 6 out of 10 in safety They're vulnerable to organized crime such as the Ebony Claw Syndicate but not significantly else The town watches aren't about to set up roadblocks just for your potion shipment from Bill's Herbal Remedies but if you use government certification the law might surprise you A middle-sized town running an art gallery types are respresented by A middle-sized town running an art gallery types are respresented by a U on some maps, The cost of running an art gallery in gold skutes coins is at around 500-600 monthly, compared the average worker's 150 ; (averaged) With your savings you might manage one good month until you have to refill your stash of certain potions Most shops will ask for several forms, interviews, and months before your shipment arrives while some are informal and hands-off on their policies Everything must be shipped in by mule caravan or airship packages, since carts can't manage the rough roads through the mountains The cost of running an art gallery in gold skutes coins is at around 500-600 monthly, The system of exchange for running an art gallery functions by barter & favors more than gems, coins, or directly through the government The local inn is known to take paintings in exchange for a room, but they'll only take one piece per week and require you to drink at their bar Once you're known around town you'll be able use paintings as currency everywhere If you can build up a list of contacts and regulars, your name will get around as an artist slash healer Take your pick! Ok! The system of exchange for running an art gallery functions by barter & favors more than gems, The typical denominations of gold skutes money exist in painted bricks and leather pouches that are easily exchangeable, the purest gold coins embossed with the royal leader's likeness on one side and a svelk warrior on the other These coins are rare unless you live in Felkan lands The wiki http: //thewheeloftime wikia On a trip, most doctors are likely to carry ? to Quality ingredients, witches and apothecaries might lug around 1 to 6 while somewhere between 7-12 would require an assistant Gold skutes coins are called such from their little mouse heads on the triangular coin Ninety of these coins can fill a brick, which are then wrapped in paper and marked ; (by the supplier) which ingredients ; (of relatively equal value) that are inside The most common way for distributors to list their ingredients, other than mental listing or scraps of papers Gold skutes coins are called such from their little mouse heads on the triangular coin And they are worth about 5 silver coins each, meaning if you looked at a coin and compared the little mouse heads to the rest of the coin you might guess its value to be around 1 copper, but moving up the chain even the very poor can earn and own some savings in skutes And they are worth about 5 silver coins each, The trade secerts of running an art gallery exist in the following forms Beautiful portraits, garden scenes, and many more subjects of amateur paintings cover the walls These all mix with each other in an odd clash of aesthetics that doesn't seem to bother anyone but you Stuffy, boring, and fussy describe this place just as much as the next fancy noble place: heavy wooden cabinets stuffed with glass displays full of useless knick-knacks while crystal chandeliers hang from the ceiling The trade secerts of running an art gallery exist in the following forms: Some common knowledge related to running an art gallery is that the art business isn't exactly the most rewarding Most galleries rely on private and corporate donations, buying and selling artwork as well as more sketchy endeavors like paying for celebrity works to put on display If some artist wanted to make a complete stranger squirm, they could do a whole series of paintings or sketches of someone in the nude and force them to buy them all for an exhorbitant price Some common knowledge related to running an art gallery, A detailed description of the process a young person goes through to become involved with running an art gallery looks like this: You stare around yourself at the building, skeptical There's no indication on the outside of what is operational within, and for all you know they've implemented an extra security feature where random humans are vaporized upon entry Of course, the owner is an immortal svelk so that might not be a risk Getting past the security and inside seemed impossible, but sometimes fortune smiles upon the bold A detailed description of the process a young person goes through to become involved with running an art gallery looks like this: Step one is to examine this place, as aGallery Owner/Employee might Does the Gallery feature anything new? Showing an artist's exhibition before anyone else does might provide you with an 'in ' Simply inquiring about the job opening ; (as you were doing before) wouldn't do much more than ensure you don't get hired, after all, why should a potential employer hire someone that will be directly competing with them? Step one is to examine this place, Step two results in nothing new exposed about the place Sure the artwork is nice enough, but it isn't exposed to your special way of seeing You can visualize how the scenes on the wall would look if perspective were just a little off, or if the angle of light changed slightly Unfortunately that's not a talent you can freely exercise while walking around the space Somehow it all reminds you of Wessel and how he so lovingly tortured you with paintings in class Step two results in nothing new exposed about the place Step three allows you to rule out an 'in' with a particularly artistic and unattached ; (at least to your knowledge) svelk owner "I don't recognize you, who are you? " Owner asks standing near the door with what looks like two revolvers tucked into her pants, cleavage-cente concealed weapon storage isn't a concept unique to justferenceis, nor is it only for the supernatural Step three allows you to rule out an 'in' with a particularly artistic and unattached ; Step four is when you try to get a grasp of whether 'anyone' is accepting unsolicited art, and with some prompting the answer is clear "Maybe if you directed that question at one of the many other owners around Faerûn, maybe you would have had a luckier roll of the dice As for myself, I simply seek to have the finest pieces in my collection, and am willing to go find them myself Step four is when you try to get a grasp of whether 'anyone' is accepting unsolicited art, you come to the conclusion that you should leave and chalk this up as a loss Your classmate; (s) will probably all graduate before you, and even if they don't you have little chance of getting a job, let alone a better one than them Sure, someone could swoop in and steal the helm right out from under your classmate's noses but that seems unlikely and would only take place after you've already been hired So what if goodwill doesn't factor into it? Finally in step five, The educational requirements for running an art gallery include knowledge of history, art theory and the ability to recognize quality artwork, lettering and design (Much like being a book seller) Melcar, having had to suffer through many classes similar to these has shared his wisdom "Those classes are pointless unless you want to become a teacher or find a job tied to academia To heck with theories! Just learn what works " This has molded your study habits into an approach of learning 'what works' and ignoring the rest The educational requirements for running an art gallery include knowledge of history, The skill ranks of running an art gallery are called 'Goodwill' because it is exactly that, the ability to get patrons to toss their coin at your gallery Melcar neglected to share what other traits are important for those venturing out into the employment world You know there is one specific skill that is always useful: Underworld/Back Alley skills can often help you get what you need, whether that's getting a particularly destructive magical weapon without having to face its owner in a challenge or skirting around government taxes The skill ranks of running an art gallery are called 'Goodwill' because it is exactly that, Are the craft requirements for various skill ranks in Arts Appraisal so demanding that you'd rather ignore an easier way to check for curses and just outright buy a book on the subject? Are the craft requirements for various skill ranks in Arts Appraisal so demanding that you'd rather ignore an easier way to check for curses and just outright buy a book on the subject? They depend more on your primary stat than your skill level Under pressure ; (such as during an appraisal) it can be harder, but your maximum roll should always get you something if you have the primary stat for it Now acquiring the painting is child's play in comparison to the appraisal/cursing problem The curse itself shouldn't be overwhelmingly difficult to figure out, since even if worst comes to worst you can always sell it to someone with low competence or no Arts Appraisal They depend more on your primary stat than your skill level Some cities who have people who running an art gallery specialize in specific things, which may or may not make your task easier Now Melcar also neglected to teach you how to recognize high quality artwork, lettering and design instantly, so you'll just have to wing that part of the appraisal and revisit it if necessary The whole process shouldn't take more than a few days, as even if you can't readily identify curses you should be able to find out everything else about the painting with ease Some cities who have people who running an art gallery specialize in specific things, Regulations Beetriot has placed on running an art gallery practices are very lenient, so you don't need a letter of permission or official license Traveling with the painting doesn't require permission either, but it would probably be best to keep all this as unofficial as possible No other galleries in Regolith have introduced any new mandates; they are all still 'evaluating the situation' and trying to learn everything they can about the recently cursed paintings Regulations Beetriot has placed on running an art gallery practices are very lenient, Some laws on the books related to running an art gallery are concerned with protecting children from potentially obscene art Thankfully the curse isn't particularly dangerous, so it isn't being treated as anything worse than nudity Some laws on the books related to running an art gallery are concerned with protecting children from potentially obscene art The standardized systems of weights and measures related to running an art gallery are probably not going to come into play in this instance; nobody is going to be buying or selling the painting You do think about keeping it as a personal coffee-table book, but that probably falls under 'commodification of art' Someone who makes a profession trading and selling artwork is actually an 'art dealer', so you suppose you qualify given that you don't plan on selling this one The standardized systems of weights and measures related to running an art gallery are probably not going to come into play in this instance; When it comes to running an art gallery , sometimes it is import to specify whether you are referring to the artist, specimens, or something else entirely, lest you end up calling your spouse a mutant You've heard it referred to as both scum and upper class in the same sentence Given your results so far with knowledge related to running an art gallery Regolith might imply a certain expertise, but please do correct us if we are mistaken Apologies if you find our questions trite, unimaginative or insulting Rather than sometimes it is import to specify whether you are referring to the artist, send another message back to the Gallery, you instead get to work on the real task at hand: appraising a cursed painting On your way out, your roommate must have finally gotten home, as you hear the door open and then a yell of "Hey Greg " though you don't hear the rest due to leaving ; (and closing) the door behind you Rather than send another message back to the Gallery, These differing systems affect shipping and trade by indirectly increasing prices of goods, or decreasing them Sometimes in unpredictable ways Exchange rates are a mess to track in the changed economy, and using them kind of ruins your dreams of having a stable currency any time soon This sucks, since if you want to run an art gallery then you probably need access to all the best resources possible to run it well Although maybe something less known or trying something different would be more profitable These differing systems affect shipping and trade by indirectly increasing prices of goods, The new industries developing related to running an art gallery do display the beginnings of your city coming together as a unified whole Without the reliance on the Confederacy, Regolith has to fend for itself A guiding hand is still present, but it's less of a parent and now more of a partner There is still conflict between citizens, but these range from simple arguments to minor feuds ; (or sometimes major ones), with nothing nearing the violence and anarchy of the rebellions once led by Kane The new industries developing related to running an art gallery do display the beginnings of your city coming together as a unified whole new in your head The most obvious money making path is both the Stadium games and dealing drugs, but the whole point of this is to do things a little less conventionally Of course this is coming from the guy that wanted to implement Kane's random stupid ideas for fun In a strange way you feel like the new systems taking hold is a kind of tribute to his memory Older running an art gallery competes with Older running an art gallery competes with new in your head Running an art gallery makes obsolete Running an art gallery makes relevant: dealing with other towns, touring artists, better stationing of guards and placing of cameras stadiums, gambling outside of the racing, and drugs Running an art gallery makes obsolete: Records kept for running an art gallery by earlier generations give you an insight into how it was done in the past, and while there is always room for improvement, it gives you some idea of how to run things The first thing to do is notifications, whether by integrating the communication systems of other settlements, or by sending messages to travellers Regolith has decent enough connections for this Your next plan of action is deciding on which artists to bring in most significantly Records kept for running an art gallery by earlier generations give you an insight into how it was done in the past, A merchant class name of running an art gallery is having specialized artists proficient in their trade to be professors of a sort, which involves creation of works to inspire the viewer and educate them at the same time You could go with an art critic to generate discussions and debate to spark interest and entertainment, or even employ some performers for live shows Looking at those skillsets you decide on inviting an art critic who also has experience as a teacher but bring something to the table that wasn't there before A merchant class name of running an art gallery is having specialized artists proficient in their trade to be professors of a sort, They fit in society With this your gallery was born and it has already proven popular Sometimes people come just to debate art with the critic While they might not get a clear winner in the argument, it at least keeps the discussions going Sometimes several of these people go on to become artists themselves, or leave to become art critics, teachers and other such jobs when they return to their homes They fit in society, Lodges are they organized by Infighting between lodges results in changes in popularity and with it further chaos Infighting between lodges results in changes in popularity and with it further chaos The trading organizations of running an art gallery transcend countries Within a few years your city is recognized across the land, and when other settlements attempt to take the place of the old Confederacy, you offer them quite the deal for trading partners increases your art houses A large a presence of lodges With each house aligned under a certain lodge, you see a decrease threat from internal power struggles It also intensifies the conflict between running an art galleries An old local music house becomes taken over by a running an ar gallery called the Lodge of the Blue Owl They make some changes produce some nice tunes, but the Blue Owl Lodge soon oversteps its bounds and tries to take territories belonging to other Lodge A large a presence of lodges increases your art houses This skute-based economy is attacked by another skute-based ecosystem: running an art galleries With governments only so powerful in the face of art, the Lodge of the Yellow Devil starts bringing in new class of drug addicts: artists This Lodge starts to supply drugs that keep people inactive and staring at walls, dreaming and scheming for more of the same The Branch of Jealousy becomes upset with the success and popularity of these new types of criminals and brings dissension by handing out pamphlets This skute-based economy is attacked by another skute-based ecosystem: Alligator meat are commonly available in A middle-sized town south of Delantium still tainted by its old Confederacy ideology They worship their local artist, Carter Caves, like a god after he paints a landscape that only they can see, with help from drugs Everyone else just calls it a mediocre impressionistic painting of a weird dog-bat monster that nobody can tell what it is Alligator meat are commonly available in A middle-sized town south of Delantium still tainted by its old Confederacy ideology Running an art gallery gets to market by targeting small communities for growth, before moving on to the cities First it was nation-wide, then country-wide, and currently you're making your way across continents There will always be demand for pretty things, after all Your story might end here You've earned more than most gain in their lifetime, and you haven't even hit thirty yet The future of the world economy may be in the hands of art collectors and dealers far more than anyone imagines Running an art gallery gets to market by targeting small communities for growth, Running an art gallery is most important to Beetriot culture Hiring a garrison from the Jicol navy, they intend to make the paper scam a worth-while and profitable institution With exception of one copy coming out every two months, there were no set schedule for pulling off the scam The newspapers with non-existent stories ran until someone took physical possession of them No one pulled any punches when it came to arguing over who did what when it came to idea creation and execution of the newspaper scam Running an art gallery is most important to Beetriot culture -ruled cities; so there's a lot of incentive to maintain good trading rela- tions Running an art gallery depends on materials from Beetriot The media exposé' about the Jicol navy garrison and its super scam caused a very public trial for corruption The end of those plans caused a lot of anger, and demand for more disclosure on government operations Your world has lead to this new environment of more excessive searching for quality content, cheaper materials, and increasing attention spans Running an art gallery depends on materials from Beetriot-ruled cities; These materials for running an art gallery consist of metal ores, paper, cloth, inks, pigments and fine arts They're typically sold in units of ; (for example) 20 pounds These materials for running an art gallery consist of metal ores, Somtimes it happens that supplies are disrupted for running an art gallery for reasons beyond your control, or there's a glut in the market that drives prices down Maybe, the Lodge of the Yellow Devil is attempting to release more Glip forgeries than are actually non-existent budding artists to sell them to Sometimes people just lose interest in art entirely The exceptions to this law would be events that either cause the artist or business to go under, or criminal rivals engaging in sabotage Somtimes it happens that supplies are disrupted for running an art gallery for reasons beyond your control, The groups responsible for skute coinage and The Lodge of the Yellow Devil face off in a high-stakes race to flood the market with forgeries produced at a much quicker pace than normal, then into the hands of unscrupulous art dealers lurking outside the main market The Jicol navy protects their interests from pirates The artists themselves form a less impressive but valuable group in demand from crime lords or wealthy 4chan owners looking for suggestions on which way to turn the ship The groups responsible for skute coinage and The Lodge of the Yellow Devil face off in a high-stakes race to flood the market with forgeries produced at a much quicker pace than normal, Generally acceptable standards related to skute coinage (printing press quality inks, and techniques to strike the fancy of art community veterans) forgery points are considered the industry standard Half of your projects strive to reach such levels All things considered, running an art gallery is a good career choice— assuming you aren't killed in a Yellow Devil unwaged duel first Generally acceptable standards related to skute coinage ; Counterfeiting of skute coinage is not too serious of a crime, unless you're doing it in the Jicol Free State where they take it very seriously The Lodge of the Yellow Devil is considered the "terrorism arm" of the mysterious outlaw organization known as The Black Hooks Members use special yellow paint when marking their territory Counterfeiting of skute coinage is not too serious of a crime, Running an art gallery smuggling is fairly rare in the city of Jicol, but that doesn't mean it doesn't go one Your art often consists of illuminated books, statues, tapestries and candles at worst, Jicol has nothing against exquisite artwork created without by illegal substances transfer Of course if any unlicensed books with pro-freedom writings no doubt you would face issues from the law-abiding militias Running an art gallery smuggling is fairly rare in the city of Jicol, This smuggling occurs if—and only if—you are a freedom fighter With novels, poems, plays and philosophy texts ; (even non-controversial ones) are censored completely You could either just display whatever you want and take the fine if discovered ; (the law permits this "honor system" at ports), risk getting it from Unapproved Artists Colonies or, if you haven't been banned from all such establishments due to constant fights, get it from freelance artists at Sight This smuggling occurs if—and only if—you are a freedom fighter or you could become more "creative" in how you deliver your product, whatever it may be In addition to risk, there is also reward Your faction could smuggle high-priced illegal artwork, rare medicinals, quality alcohol or other goods that are scarce or banned
