Which is a good adventure hook.

Sure, do it like once. Makes a great plot.

Otherwise the fact that they're spending 50% of their potential loot in order to get anything on top of paying the Agent a flat fee? Yeah, I think that crappy Disad is earning it's points.


Though, why anyone would make a solo PC with Dead Broke is beyond me.

Correct; my mistake. Where Wealth rules are concerned, I should be saying "GURPS vs DF/DFRPG".

(Side note: DF's overhaul of GURPS' Wealth rules is easy to miss. Just one paragraph at the end of Adventurers p23, but it's a big game changer for PCs!)
