Thanks for your reply, Peter.
It was helpful, but mostly by showing me that it will be difficult to mix and match prices from RQ3 and HQ. I suppose the generic RQ3 economics don't mix well with the more culturally specific HQ (Pavis) economics.

I've taken a small sample of prices from Pavis Gateway to Adventure and from RQ3 GM book (small city prices mostly). The 'table' shows teh items and how many RQ3 pennies taht goes to the HQ Lunar pr item. (I tryed doing this in html, but the forum system seemed to remove it. Also tryed rich text, but no go... Sorry for the poor 'table')

Item_____________________________RQ item if different___________RQ p pr HQ L
Mule_____________________________Burro__________________________14
Cow_____________________________________________________________10
Bull_____________________________Ox_____________________________10
Chicken__________________________Fowl____________________________1
Goose____________________________Fowl____________________________0.3
Sheep___________________________________________________________17
