OSR Hireling Loot Share Calculator

(The left column is protected so if you double click over there just hit enter to clear the dialogue box that pops up) This little calculator helps figure out how much you owe your hirelings. I always have difficulty figuring it out on the fly and so based this on what  I believe is the proper way to pay hirelings (from OSE core rules p.46)  "Fractional shares of treasure are calculated by dividing the treasure  by the total number of shares. For example, a party consisting of 5 PCs (who receive full shares) plus one retainer (who is paid a half share) discover 2,750gp of treasure. The total is divided by 5.5 (five full shares plus one half share): 500gp. Thus, each PC gains 500gp and the retainer gains 250gp."

So while I take a break from that I will be using this blog to detail the campaign so far, how I set it up, what different problems I've encountered and what tweaks I will make in hopes of creating a more streamlined a
