Last month I started looking at worldbuilding as part of a slow process. Exploring one aspect of the world and then creating a location in a town based on that aspect as well as character – or since this is for a game world NPCs – for that location. I’ve already looked into taverns as a social center for a community and the blacksmith’s role in small towns and this week I take a look at the role of trade in a small town ., as well as the creation of a trading post and a postmaster for the town I’ve been slowly building up.
After you’ve read what I have to offer let’s talk about how trade effects your world. How does trade differ in a small town and a larger city? Do your people have a specific trading day or is there a constant every day market? What kind of trade route exist on your world and how have they changed the communities they flow through? What are some examples of the places the people of your world trade and who are the people who facilitate trade?
