As has been said by others, someone's going to need a decent persuasion roll to get a sale or give a compelling reason why the merchant might want to make a deal.

The more detailed systems like D&D and Pathfinder have a variety of adversaries on different power levels including deities of various sorts which are incredibly formidable. Call of Cthulhu seems to be incredibly dangerous before the old ones enter the mix themselves and I can only imagine that the danger ramps up from ridiculous to absurd when they do. As was mentioned above, the xenomorphs in Alien are a pretty deadly foe to encounter right off the bat -- in fact, one was responsible for such an early kill in a con game that I had to allow the character to be brought back with medical assistance because it had only been about 15 minutes into a three hour game slot and the person's friends were all in the game.

Once a vendor gave the PCs a deep bulk discount, but it turned out he was trying to move a dead body. Even in a fantasy world, if the price is too good to be true . . .

And your steps and point about keeping it simple are great!
We like to say things such as "prep is play", but it's also good to remind ourselves about the play part, too. That is to say, play is to "engage in activity for enjoyment and recreation rather than a serious or practical purpose." And I would say, without any expectations other than that. No concerns about doing it "right" or about being a good writer or artist or gamer or whatever the case may be. It can be so easy to get caught up in trying to be as good as some of the great content makers we see and admire, and there's nothing wrong with aspiring to that level as long if that's what one is going for. On the other hand, there is something to be said for just having fun, being imperfect, even making mistakes, and just playing around.
In the end, sometimes simple is best. 😊
(for myself, I found One Page Mythic can be a good option for that, but as you found, it can be even simpler.)

I need to get the full version of Perilous Tales! I played the beta version a bit and really like it. It was a great second use for my Death May Die minis.
