Not sure that works super well for what are effectively “independent contractors”. They could always walk away from the offer if it’s insulting like that.

Yeah, that’s a good way to get player-characters saying, “I just won’t take the job, then.” And then there’s no story.

No, then there’s no story with -this- guy.

Doesn’t mean there won’t be a story with some other guy.

Oh, I agree on principle. I just know that putting the screws to the PC’s too much right off the back in this kind of scenario isn’t a great idea.
