Message: <blockquote data-quote="pemerton" data-source="post: 5829620" data-attributes="member: 42582">I've played with the AD&D system for this - I don't know whether or not you count this as a good system!I voted that it should be optional, and that it should not define high level play but rather be part of background/context. In my previous (Rolemaster) campaign, the PC samurais becames lords of a small village at mid level, and of a port city at high level. In both cases, this was mechanically resolved as a series of social encounters (in the first case, being granted the village by their daimyo; in the second case, successfully politicing after saving the city (Freeport, under another name - Yoemura, I think) from cultists).In my current game, the party "leader" is a warpriest of Moradin who carries himself as an equal of the baron of a frontier city, and who has a minion herald (Gutboy Barrelhouse). Again, though, this is a result of, and part of the ongoing context for, social encounters.I'm not that interested in an AD&D-style approach where I have to cost the building of castles, the hiring of retainers, the collection of taxes, etc. I would like an approach that linked stronghold-style resources into the treasure and existing resolution systems.If others do want an AD&D-style system that's no skin off my nose, but I would like it to be optional so that I don't have to deal with it, and so that taking the sort of approach I've described above won't create balance issues in my game.</blockquote>
