Re: [DF/Fantasy] A few Questions
I can't do that. I have a Numeric Dyslexia quirk; I can enter the same list of numbers into a calculator three times and come up with three different answers.

Re: [DF/Fantasy] A few Questions
The cost of labor swings wildly depending on which side of a big plague or famine you're on. To a (usually) lesser extent, warfare can also toss it around.

So if GURPS Low-Tech has taken average values across multiple centuries, some before the Black Death and some after, then of course the result is going to be bizarre. Also, to the other poster: Is the cited cost breakdown for a scribed book, or for a book that's both scribed and illuminated? |

Re: [DF/Fantasy] A few Questions
You'd have to ask the author of that particular section to know for certain, but from the descriptions of Good and Fine (as opposed to Basic) quality libraries it appears they are simply scribed (the higher quality versions sound like they are potentially illuminated).

Re: [DF/Fantasy] A few Questions
Skilled TL 3 labor is cheap, but it's also very low productivity. For that matter, many of the expensive materials are expensive because quite a bit of labor was required to produce those materials.
