Family Lineages: Human Villagers PDF

A Lineage for Commoners and Craftsmen

One of the most enjoyable aspects of fantasy role-playing games is the creation of a complex, vividly detailed character. Although many players devote a considerable amount of time and effort into fleshing out their fantasy alter ego, there is often little attention, if any whatsoever, given towards the family that the character hails from. Many players will acknowledge that they come from a family of a certain profession, and some will even state that they have brothers and sisters. Beyond that, however, there is often little other mention in regards to the working dynamics of the background family.

This product is an advanced spin off [url="/store/v5748btpy88k0"]Peasant Bloodline[/url], an earlier release from Mossy Mountain Gathering. While Peasant Bloodline provided the details of a pre-generated family, the overall response from the gaming community indicated that there was a greater need for products that would allow someone to create many different families as needed. Random roll charts were the overall agreed solution for such a feat. This product is a direct result of such requests.

Although this particular product is suitable for generating the family lineages for many adventurers, the contents are geared towards humans that come from commoner, artisan, and modest professional stock. In an effort to keep a reasonable sense of coherence to the random roll charts, the designers at Mossy Mountain Gathering decided that it would be best to create a small line of different products, rather than bulk the interests of random family creation into one single release. Future slated products of this nature include the creation of family trees for non-human characters, particularly elves, dwarves, and the like. There is also a considered interest in the development of family trees for humans that come from varying castes or rank of the social or professional interests.

In order to help build up community interest for possible future releases, this initial product is available in electronic format for free. Please feel free to download this title as needed and encourage others to do so. Feedback, both positive and negative, is greatly welcomed as it helps our designers better develop similar future products.
