RPGPundit Presents #44: Medieval-Authentic Activities for Successful Characters (https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/250422/) is a collection of rules which are made for the Lion & Dragon RPG (https://www.rpgnow.com/product/226022/) but could also be used in any OSR product with ease (and in D&D or other fantasy games with a bit more effort), that cover a range of possible activities for characters who have moved beyond mere 'survival mode'.

If your character is mid-level, you are going to start doing a few things that are more than just fighting monsters or going into tombs, especially if you are playing a real Medieval-Authentic game!
So here in RPGPundit Presents #44 (https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/250422/) we have a number of activities that might engage mid or high level characters in a Medieval-Authentic context. These include:
-Working out Cost of Living for your character depending on class and the kind of lifestyle they want
-Renting or purchasing housing or lands. And alternately, what happens if you're homeless in a Medieval-Authentic setting!
-Once you own land, trying to make money off of small-hold farming or ranching, with mechanics to work out how much profit you make, or how much debt you accrue.
-Getting into Mercenary work

-Rising up the ranks of the Clerical order and being given one's own Clerical Priory to run.
-Becoming a professor at a great Magisterial college at Oxford or Cambridge; and what you have to do to get unlimited access to the Alchemical lab or the special collections library.

-Getting work, full time or on-the-side, from your professional skills.
-Or if you want to be in big business, investing in a medieval merchant venture, complete with mechanics for profits, loss, or disasters.

Another that I'll have to get. This looks interesting and so very useful, especially for those of us who want more than the bog standard dungeon crawling game. I'm going to be happily comparing parts of it to parts of Harnmanor.
