I've definitely some ideas for...Thanks, Steven! I've definitely some ideas for follow up posts and convinced the girlfriend to give it a shot. Prominent NPCs should be in there somehow and CHA seems the way to go. I'm thinking this might happen organically. Something like, every fight leaves one citizen with +1 hd (maybe like a pyramid, three 2 hd citizens allow one to advance to 3 hd or I'll borrow the spell list from the wizards to make that one easy...). Might be a bit heavy on the bookkeeping, but if it's player driven, that might not even be a problem.<br /><br />I had one more idea regarding Telecanter's distribution of d6 on the map. To make this work, a settlements hp don't indicate the number of citizens, but the number of d6 settlers (a Level 1 settlement could have up to 6 hp or 6d6 families living there). So with advancement, a DM/Player/whatever could assign the next d6 as the level of an NPC in the area instead (or I'll whip up a random table what happens there).<br /><br />On the other hand it would be funny to let a town hope for a Random Encounter with adventurers to solve the bigger problems. Which would mean they need to build achievements (a tavern, a brewery, infrastructure, whatever) to lure people there with traffic.<br /><br />Or it's something that comes with level and achievements. Like, if the settlements has 2 features (smith and tavern, for example), they get one prominent NPC to live there.<br /><br />Well, I need to think about this some more. But, yeah, they need to be in there :)Jens D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18394303166081684904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6617677799085549365.post-29078900783698254092013-06-28T20:53:32.360+02:002013-06-28T20:53:32.360+02:00Very interesting, I'ld love to see what you do...Very interesting, I'ld love to see what you do with this next.
