Town Builder
When players wander into a town, they expect certain basic amenities. Taverns, inns, general stores, and a blacksmith are the most common businesses they find. The general store becomes the catchall for every purchase they make – rope, rations, healing potions, or less common items.
After a while, these settings lose their sparkle because they are expected and no longer represent a place of opportunity, a way to meet interesting townsfolk, a way to scratch their particular interests, and a way to immerse themselves into the town experience.
Town Builder solves these problems by letting you turn your town into a bustling region of commerce and creativity in seconds! Its collection of 87 unique medieval-themed businesses can be dropped into your fantasy ttrpg setting and used instantly.
Each entry includes the following details:
- Name of the business.
- Description of the business – including some historical details and alternate names that the business might have been called at various times.
- Description of the owner and an apprentice/worker in enough detail that you can easily roleplay them – over 200 NPCs.
- Hundreds of rumors, several related to the theme and the workers for each shop.
- Quest seeds – one for each shop – that can be fleshed out for a quick diversion or a full-fledged side quest.
- Thousands of new items for sale with prices based on the 5e pricing scale. All items in the PDF version are also listed in an excel spreadsheet and csv file as well as in the book under each shop description.
All told, Town Builder is your comprehensive guide to building a robust medieval city for your party of adventurers to explore, make friends, build alliances, and much more.
