I asked this over at dumpshock, but never really got an answer. What did you offer your NPC's for the retainer sense it is not found in the book? Also if you let one of your PC's get the beta ware reward, what $ limit did you allow this to cover?

I am setting up this adventure for any future games i might run, and I am trying to add about 5-10 runs into each stage of the mission. So everything does not seem so rushed. But i like to have a clear idea of what is too much.

500/day with bigger payouts for the missions.

Thanks, that keeps it to a good manageable amount.

Our GM is giving us 200/day plus bonus on jobs

I paid the team 200/day each when they were on retainer with Kaz.  They are currently getting 300/day each with Sacristan.  The specific jobs pay extra of course.  Also remember they team will be making money in other ways. 

To your comment about time, I have also added a few encounters but overall the campaign is not that rushed.  Bear in mind travel time, player downtime to get gear or initiate or get cyber, etc.  Also some time passes quickly in-game.  For example, they escort Kaz for X days until event Y happens.

I didn't pay my group by retainer for Kaz.

Sacristain paid them 600¥ a day.  I did not pay extra for jobs.  This is partly because of the higher amount paid per day, but mostly because my players really like advancement so I would give them periods of downtime between runs that their duties would be light enough for them to train in skills, but for which they'd still be on retainer for and still get more ¥¥ for.

They were not paid until the end.  Anything gear/cyber/etc they obtained through Sacristain was taken out of the amount they were owed.  There were a few gifts though for excellent job performance.

Riveros is currently paying them 1700¥ per day.  No bonuses for jobs, same reasons.  We'll see about gifts.  I'm thinking given Riveros's personality it's far less likely.
