Is there someplace where there is a Settlement Management Guide? I would like to understand how the various aspects of running a settlement work to help manage one effectively. For example, setting buy/sell prices; buying resources from other settlements; determining taxes collected in a given period to help set both tax rates and goals for shops; etc. I saw there was some information on the wiki, but that was pretty basic.
If this is a FOIG thing, I would think that the NPCs that are consistent in the settlements would educate those that are in control to help them properly manage.
Thanks

I don't believe there is, but when time comes back to me, I'l see about including this in the work in progress player handbook.
Please don't feed my sister.

Re: Settlement Management Guide?
I will say this:
Having a guide and finding out the basics of how settlment mechanics work is absolutly fine. That's only to be expected, it's big, complex and in places very fiddly, so having a guide is an excellent idea.
That. Being. Said.
Don't be afraid of doing things differently, of making mistakes or making chioces your character would make.
Just because your Int 8 barbarian Chaotic Evil became the leader of a settlment, doesn't mean they became an Int 20 Lawful Good King.
