Project Nemesis is a fan driven website for games that use the One-Roll Engine (like Nemesis, Wild Talents, Reign and Monsters) or Chaosium's Basic Roleplay System (BRP) (like Call of Cthulhu) and the Delta Green setting.
First of all, each race is worth 5 points in total. That means if you
hand-pick it, each race costs 5 points. Even humans do. Yes. It also
means, that if you random-roll your character, one of your total dice
is reserved for the Race Roll. This dice is rolled seperately from the
rest.
Simply put, it's not called the Cottage Industry for nothing. Here are
some of the movers and shakers and money makers that you might walk
into around your doss.
Sure you're willing to do questionable, sometimes despicable acts for money but you're also showing initiative and self-motivation. Anyway, if what you are doing is so repugnant and repellent to decency, why are you able to make a decent living off of it?
In a world of majestic sorcery, there are also those that labour under failed ambition or are spiritually deflowered, these sorcerers whose long and winding road is a little off the beaten path. A few are just educated but most are able to muster some grubby charms and brief sparks of power as they eke out a living as hayseed shamans and crafty mountebanks.
The Rookeries are the pre-industrial squalid equivalent

Pit Spear Fighting is the remarkable discipline that formed with the
spread of illegal pit-fighting in various cities around Heluso. This
school of fighting developed slowly, with arduous trial and many errors

legitimate-which-means-effective combat tool. The benefit of the school
is that it uses short spears, which are staffs with sharp, pointed
metal caps affixed to them. It is best to realise that the wooden staff
is the important weapon. The tip just happens to be there.
