In fact puting positive numbers in front of players often works as motivation too.I am running Rise of the Runelords at the moment, and that is exactly the sort of 'feel' I think the authors were aiming for reagrding the PC's relationship with Sandpoint.I totally agree on keeping this as a group mechanic too. Otherwise it could get quite messy. Do you also track individual members of the NPCs too. The people that make up a town are quite varied in outlook too. Someone in town might still have a grudge vs the PCs (or individual PCs), but I don't see the point in tracking every interaction.I will certainly be adopting this and tracking Trust with each group the PCs interact with.Furthermore, I can actually see where you could use this in a more tangible manner, where the players directly see the benefits of developing trust. You could simply add the Trust Rank to positive relation rolls with members or the said organisation/community; Diplomacy/Persuasion or whatever your system uses. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />These are certainly the articles I like to read. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
