Bard the Howler's page

I agree, but it's just not realistic to arbitrarily raise the population. We have a realistic, and immersive world, and things don't just happen over night. I know the lot rules and everything, but again they had the money, and resources. For example, yes there is a basic collage, but there's only one student, and the person that one of my pc's hired to run it. The buildings are there, but there empty at this time. The population will increase over time, so let's not focus on that anymore. I'd like to know what some good ways to establish trade would be?

Good ideas. The reason the population is so small is because the town is only about 4 or 5 months old, and its in the Storval plateau. There's really nothing around it. We have the buildings that we have because my players were wealthy enough to afford them, and my bard has an instrument that quickly builds buildings. It's mostly human, with small percentages of the other core races. Another inn is a good idea, as is the dock idea. We have the platinum mine, and its run by a freelance dwarven mining group. I've determined that a profession check from the foreman will determine how much platinum we get on a monthly basis. With that number I can get how much money will be earned. Fishing is a good thought, but how would you put a gold value on fish. I do own ultimate campaign, but it's currently at a friends. What other types of income could a government bring in? The party uses the roles out of UCamp, so they are leaders in the community. I liked the plot twists and conflict ideas. I have some good ones of my own that I'm planning. Thanks for the posts. I'm looking forward to more :)

Hello there. I've been running my first ever campaign almost a year now. We've done some pretty cool stuff, one of which was to create our own town in the Storval plateau.

I'm trying to figure out what my towns income would be, and what expenses must be covered. Any advise or ideas would be appreciated. I'm looking to bounce ideas off of people as that tends to help.

The town is roughly 300 people. The buildings outside of homes that are currently present are the mansion where the seat of government is, A farm, A druids grove, a magus collage, a bards collage, a bank, a garrison, an inn, a tavern, a platinum mine, a watch tower, a temple, and the multitude of homes. There is also a stone head protruding from the top of the hill. It was one of Runelord Karzougs statues, but it got buried when the empire fell.

The town is nestled between the Chavali and Lampblack rivers on a hill atop the Storval stairs. Most of the buildings are along the main street. Beyond this I don't have much fleshed out. So, any ideas?
