Players seemed to get it when I explained tasks using this term; e.g. "clearing the rubble takes 8 work-days."

Someone used the term "FTE" which caused me to LOL.

Perhaps it was a function of my job (which involves terms like FTE-months), but I found it super clear. I was relieved that there wasn't a premium rate for hiring the skilled workers!

I'm definitely loading this one in the hopper to GM. Thanks, Doug!

I was surprised too about there not being an extra charge for the skilled workers. I guess Razmir is not a supporter of labor unions.

I have a question about the Nature DC to command the horses pulling the Wagon to move. With a DC of 15 and a penalty of -2 to command the horses, I can see a party not trained in nature having all kinds of difficulty with this, especially at first level. I am picturing a fighter swearing and cursing at the horses failing repeated nature checks to even get them to move in the first place. Khoumrock mentions the options of hiring a teamster, but I can't find anything in the text as to how much and what benefit that would be.

Your primary melee character in a first level adventure is a first level sorcerer. Who dumped dex and con. And does not have Mage Armor as a spell. Happened in a game I was running. Think he was using the Draconic Bloodline and was going for some type of melee build. He was dropped in one round by the swarming zombies. Because they had to roll a 10 to hit him. Nobody died but he came close.

There are basically 2 kinds of dumb movies. Dumb movies that are fun to watch (i.e. Showgirls, Plan 9) and dumb movies that are painful to watch (Pearl Harbor, Battlefield Earth). The most recent dumb movie that is fun to watch was In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale, straight from the creative "genius" of Uwe Boll. So bad I can't begin to describe it, but watch it with a group of friends and a bottle of rum and a good time will be had by all.

The most recent second variety (that I can think of, there may be others) was M. Night Shamalan's "The Village." I will not give away the "twist" ending, but it was the only time that I ever seriously considered asking for my money back at a theater.

Don't get me started on Roland and Emmerich's Godzilla AKA GINO (Godzilla In Name Only) or this post will never end...
