Making a location is really easy. The trick is to make it vivid and focus on what matters to the game. By keeping the details vague and writing down only what the players can discover everything comes together really fast. Nondescript goon stats can plug into any NPC should combat become necessary, no need to worry about it just yet.

>>48036553
Oh, have lots for sale. Any style to fit the buyer's needs. Best prices this side of the bridge too
This little burg we've made needs a name.
>>48037150
Justainasburg
A quaint little community in a growing town. Or could be the name of the town itself idk.
>>48037150
I propose the name Reddon
Named after Arhor Reddon who founded it 200 years prior as an entry point to the mines
There's a statue of him in the town square, a tall, burly man with an impressive moustache, iron pick in one hand and oil lantern in the other
>>48037150
Fordhurst, Woodwick, Hortealing (after the founder, Aethelwud Horteal), Forestead
>>48037223
>Reddon founded the town
You believe that meme-tier history don't you? Must have listened to one of Oughtnot's ramblings again...
>>48037277
How could he not have? His name's right on the plaque in the middle of town!
>>48036436
Nah, the mine isn't part of the forest. He might decide to steal your loot if you leave at night though
>>48037223
I like that. Here is a complementary drawing of the statue I made after 12 hours of MS paint.
Though I still think that Justainasburg should be a street or section at least.
>>48037311
About the mine, I should've been specific about where at. I was referencing a mine that has been abandoned and reclaimed by nature (sort of like your domain).
Fuck I'm gonna draw a map of this place later if I have the time.
>>48037336
Of course, the mine has long since been run dry
However, the town prospers as the entrance into the Golem's Pass, a main trading route through the nearby mountain range
>>48037385
Any monsters, bandits, or general ne'er-do-wells taking up residence in the mine?
>>48037411
At twilight one can sometimes hear shouts coming from that area, however they stop whenever the sun goes below the mountains
>>48037385
Welp, in that case, time to go looting! The landlady's been bitching about the rent money and quite frankly, I'm too delicate and prudish to be some cunt's rent boy.
>>48037411
You know it, I can't go near there to get the clay for my pots. I have to cross the river and deal with that troll who stands guard there all day
>>48037451

Wouldn't do that if I were you, it's infested with Knockers.

>Allies
>>48036470 because he knows how to get some of the reagents that the Apothecary needs in some of his more delicate medicines.
>Enemies
>>48024981 and the town council. Mostly because he calls them on all of their bullshit that they try to pull on the local townspeople.
>Conflict
Likely accused of some form of witchcraft by the Priest, which is likely backed up by the town council. Out of town debts he still has to pay off, likely resulting in some unsavory characters coming into town to try and collect said debts.
>>48037548
He should be burned at the stake
>>48037693
You're the priest, aren't you.
>>48037712
Wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't a religious nutjob that would play off on the Priest.
>>48037693
It is rather spooky sometimes, but the guy does come to my shop daily. Let him be

His clinic is going out of business due to the increasing number of people relying on Horatio Saint's potions
>Secret
Has seen what the Moss Man really looks like. Drinks to forget.
>>48037739
I sell pottery, the fire salts are mixed inside the mortar and pestles that I sell... as far as making tonic goes you'll have to talk to Horatio
>>48037467
>>48037489
Damn that place was precarious. So many twists and turns leading into pit falls. Heard some noises while up there but I kept to the shadows and didn't see anything. Nicked a few chunks of ore left behind, and a lone coin purse that some poor schmuck left sitting around for the taking. Also anyone know what this thing is?

>Secret
Born a commoner, has ties to one of the logger families under >>48036123 Disdains their pagan ways but finds it in his heart to cover for them and the loggers always answer the call of kin.
>>48037858
Who's the mother?
>>48037824
Ah, my fine wife. So glad you came back early for once... how was your mushroom foraging? Find any big ones like last time? I'm sure with Arhor as your guide you'd fine a lot
>>48037872
Died in childbirth, Oughtnot used to be fairly rich before drinking it all way in despair.
>>48037896
Arhor's been dead for 150 years, my friend. Perhaps you need to lay off those mushrooms?
>>48037896
Oh God, this a Dale Gribble situation isn't it? Fuck I'm dying.
>>48037896
Oh dear Chiral. You wouldn't believe the size of mushrooms in the forest.
>>48037909
*Arbor, perhaps I should...
>>48037917
Never heard of Dale... there is a guy named Rusty Shackleford that I bumped into the other day after crossing and Poltick's bridge.
>>48037920
You don't say...
>>48037869
Noble, eh? Better make a note of this.
>>48037950
Also, anyone notice how invested my son is in religion? It's almost as if he's got holy blood running through his veins... wonder who he got it from though?
>>48037869
Evening, Joseph. It's Garn.
>>48038022
Gee I wonder... Anyway, does anyone know how much this shit is worth? Looks like it's made of gold.
>>48038092
It looks like some kind of idol.
>>48038092
If it wasn't missing a sapphire, it would fetch a large price on the black market
Of course, it still would, being a golden idol, but the lack of the sapphire hurts the resale value a little...
>>48038092
Ain't an idol for any religion i've ever seen.
>>48038092
The priest might have fathered a kid... geez, glad my wife is so dang gorgeous. She'd never stoop so low as to lay with the bishop. Just confession every other day, like a good pious woman.
That idol looks really cool. Maybe you'd be willing to trade it to me for a few of my finer vases. >>48038125 has a good point, that missing sapphire does hurt the value
>>48038084
Oh, it's you. Did your Uncle send you to fetch his monthly tobacco shipment?
>>48038147
You sure you want to take that idol in to your house? From what I've heard, pagan idols are usually cursed.
>>48038138
>t. Arbor
>>48038118
>>48038138
I know it's an idol, I sto- erm saw it in a bin outside of the church in town.
>>48038125
You could be right, I noticed a space where a gem would fit, I could probably just throw another gem in and call it abstract. That seems to fetch a high price on the market.
>>48038147
Yeah, your wife is pretty hot. And I could do with a few vases, does your wife deliver?
>>48038162
Keep makin' cracks about my uncle and I might just walk away. I'm already angry with you making a house call. Right now, some idiot's probably stepping on a rusty nail, and I can't do a thing. So, what needs surgering?
>>48038163
Then you would have already felt the effects of that curse, no?
>>48038197
You never know. Sorcery is insidious.
>>48038171
She does actually! Once she gets back from Arhor's little lumberjack meeting I can send her right away.
>>48038215

This is a good thread. We should make this a regular thing.
>>48038295
Here here!

*I take a long bonesaw from my bag and use it to pry the stone away, being sure not to look at or touch the moss. I take the money.*
Right. Let's see to your servant.
>>48038280
I don't know a lot about artifacts, but I do know a lot about pottery. That looks like an old gyroid made by the people who used to live here before us. They lived among animals... right in their village! Insane if you ask me...

- Chiral, Potter
>>48038295
We did it, everyone!

You're never getting rid of old me

Oy Arbor. I finally got it!!! We got it!!
We can finally put our plan to action.
Some sucker actually sold it to me.
Come to the forest tomorrow at midnight. Bring the potter's wife. She's crucial. I will prepare everything.

His beekeeping is primarily as revenge for an event early in childhood when he was climbing in a tree in the forest and a bee hive fell on him. He was attacked by the angry swarm and spent days recovering from the stings. He swore to get revenge on the bees and his occupation is more a constant war against bees and it gives him great pleasure to take all their sweet sweet honey to punish them. Every week he throws a jar on honey into the river just to spite the bees. At night he swears he can hear the bees little voices talking to him. Little does he know the childhood event was just a prank bro thanks to this guy: >>48036352 and the bees are innocent.
