I'm running a 5e D&D campaign and the players are currently helping a small hamlet on the frontier. They've taken a liking to the village and are working hard to develop it into a thriving community and a safe home base.
Besides the Kingdom Builder rules from Pathfinder's Kingmaker adventure path (which seems a bit fiddly), are there any good resources out there for 'player-driven' city development?
General settlement/city sourcebooks are ok too if they have useful ideas, but I'm specifically looking for things where I as the DM can present a list or menu of options for the players to pour over and discuss with each other. (And then introduce complications for their goals like any good DM would!)
This is for a 5e campaign, but I can convert as needed.
For example, I see that Matt Colville's just released his Strongholds & Followers book from his recent Kickstarter, anyone have a copy they can review and advise if it seems worth picking up for what I'm trying to do?
What suggestions/recommendations do you have that you think would be useful?
Thanks and Game on!
