Message: <blockquote data-quote="aco175" data-source="post: 7056174" data-attributes="member: 27385">My group that played the starter set LMoP is now coming back to Phandelver.  They completed the module and wanted to take over Tresendar Manor for a home base.  They are invested in the town and mine succeeding since they own 10% of the mine.  They have been gone for the last few months going around the Sword Mountains, Leilon, and Waterdeep adventuring and sending workers to the town to work on the manor house and the mines.  They are now coming back now and I wanted to show progress and how things have changed over the last months.Some of the ideas I had was to double the population from 250 to 500 in town and another 100 at the mine.  Half of the new population are families who farm or are seeking laborer work.  The rest can be grown men either seeking work in the hopes of striking it rich mining or scamming the workers.  Several new buildings are being built or expanded.  The inn had only 6 rooms and is building a wing with more.  I plan to have a few cool NPCs staying in the inn such as a mage and a con artist of some sort.  I have a lot of deforestation around town and along the route to the mine.  Most of the wood is being used for lumber for buildings and a shantytown being set up on the common.  There is also work going on building a wall around the town.The manor is being built for the PCs.  They gave a bunch of money to lady at Lionshield Coster to bring food and workers from Neverwinter.  They also found a group of dwarfs in Thornhold that came for the winter season.  I would think even with 50 people working on the building that it would take a few years to build, even with having most of the stones on site.  I'm going to handwave some of this and have the manor more than half done to move it along.  What I need help with is some ideas for NPCs and new businesses that spring up.  I want to have a miner's tavern and lumbermill.  I have visions of the movie Tombstone and the TV show Hell on Wheels as inspiration, but want to tamp down the dirty parts for more chivalry and things I can use to play with 12 year olds.  Thanks</blockquote>
