Message: <blockquote data-quote="GlassEye" data-source="post: 5973129" data-attributes="member: 40413">I like the village.  I like the details that give it a very nice feel, like the descriptive bits about what the village is known for and the detail on the inns.  I don't feel a list of businesses adds to the village in any substantial way.  The only thing that jumps out at me from that list is that the two barbers are feuding.  It makes me want to know why*.You're right, Mowgli, we do have an entire world to fill up.  And on that scale adding one small village really doesn't make a whole lot of difference.  But for me, some of the most interesting and entertaining bits of creation come from people taking something that someone else has created and adding just a bit more to it.  For example, the Gabbiano ring led to Carnemorto & Umberto Gabbiano to Finia and Commander Parsons and all the connections Parsons has had through various adventures.  It wouldn't have been the same if I had just created the Gabbiano family whole cloth from the beginning.And that's how I see this village.  Yes, it's created as part of soulnova's character backgrounds but it could very well lead to something more.  A detailed list of businesses doesn't provide me any inspiration; that's what I meant by detail for the sake of detail.As for adding it to the wiki, feel free to create a village or town category.  It might also be useful to link the village on Tritower's page under a 'Surrounding Territories' heading or something like that.* For the record, I don't think the feud should be detailed.  It is that sort of open hook that might capture a DMs imagination and encourage him to write an adventure about it.</blockquote>
