If the PCs are looking for Henry Draper, JP, at 9:30 in the morning, I want to know whether he is in his draper shop, in his courthouse, or at the public baths.I want to know what people's homes are like. Also, to a lesser extent, public places such as markets, theatres, courts, shops…I want to know what people's families are like: monogamous? Polygynous? Polyandrous? Polyamoric? Polygynous for rich men and polyandrous for rich women? Nuclear? Extended? Avuncular? Is marriage endogamous, exogamous? Confined within social classes or even castes? Sacred or secular? Permanent or revokable? Can people marry without permission? Without a job? Without a trousseau and fortune? Without a house? I want to know what people aspire to. Wealth? If so what forms are respectable and what means of getting rich are accepted? Glory? Being made a knight? Marrying a prince? Becoming an avatar of a god? Being sacificed? Bedding lots of attractive members of the appropriate sex? Producing lots of children? Killing lots of enemies?I want to know what people find shaming, what they will strive to avoid doing or avoid being revealed about them.It is all about what people do, where they do it, when, and why.</blockquote>
