 ++ Example| In my recent Kingmaker game, a character with a well-developed Noble family married another character with a well-developed family background. Their reward, for good backstory development ahd RP, was a wedding gift of 2bp, specifically to develop a ‘nice home’ as the bride’s dowry.  In another game, a Characters background let me link her to a Fishery used by a Fagin-like character and his gang of child thieves.  After a bit of RP, she managed to buy the title to the fishery for a couple of hundred GP.++  ++ Example| In my recent Kingmaker game, a character with a well-developed Noble family married another character with a well-developed family background.

 **Loan:** Sometimes, you might not have the money when you want to invest in some advertising or buy an existing property.  In which case you might want to ask a bank for a loan.  Assuming that you are trustworthy and reliable, they will probably lend you some money -  however, this is an expensive way of doing things and you will have to pay it back, with interest,  in cash.  If you are really lucky you will find a fellow player (or significant NPC) who will lend you a BP for a small consideration. **Loan:** Sometimes, you might not have the money when you want to invest in some advertising or buy an existing property.  In which case you might want to ask a bank for a loan.  Assuming that you are trustworthy and reliable, they will probably lend you some money -  however, this is an expensive way of doing things and you will have to pay it back, with interest,  in cash.  If you are really lucky you will find a fellow player (or significant NPC) who will lend you a BP for a small consideration.
