Re: Duchy of Dran
Podliforku
A ramshackle town/port with a notorious reputation for piracy, Podliforku has little in the way of local government apart from a local Mafia-type Thieves' Guild which employs most of the pirates. Not surprisingly, there is a lot of money and black market goods in this town, which attracts merchants and dwarves from all around. However no merchant admits to dealing with folk in this city. Podliforku Encounter Table 2:Vampire* 3:a band of dwarves* 4:harlot* 5:beggars* 6:a pack of rats 7:a band of thieves* 8:press gang* 9:merchant & bodyguards* 10:vengeful ghost* (night only) 11:a band of righteous warriors* 12:werewolf* Thargi Swamp A noxious place, home to many fell creatures, the Thargi Swamp unfortunately straddles the Trassy and Lesser Trassy Rivers, which serve as vital arteries of trade for the Duchies of Dran and Bolors. Numerous reptilian and invertebrate vermin make the swamp dangerous. The Fort: Thus Dran has built a fort on the Lesser Trassy, known simply as "Fort Quag", reflecting the muddy conditions there. The Duchy is continually trying to find personnel to man it as conditions are so bad and monsters dangerous. At any one time there will be 4d6+16 32-35 pt human heroes here plus the Fort Commander, Selvados, a human martial wizard and cousin to the duke (ST 12 DX 15(14) IQ 16 weapon Staff of Power (2), wears stone flesh necklace & Cloth armour(5). Has a 5 pt Strength Battery and 4 2 dice exploding gems. Spells: megahex sleep, long distance telepathy, staff of power, lightning, giant rope, hammertouch, explosive gem, summon bear, sleep, detect enemies, slow movement / literacy, charisma, tactics) and his lieutenant, Talgar the Woodsman (ST 13 DX 14(12) IQ 11 weapon bastard sword (2+1 or 3-2) or longbow (1+2), wears leather armour(2).Talents: naturalist, woodsman, animal handling, alertness, tracking).Talgar also has a trained War Dog (ST 10 DX 14 IQ 6 bite(1+1),1 pt fur), which will attack any who attack his master. Selvados and Talgar are both loyal to Dran, though there is a spy in the camp for the Duchy of Bolors, one Bakarat the Bold-human mercenary (ST 11 DX 14(12) IQ 10 weapon spear(1 or 1+1) & boomerang(2), wears leather armour(2) Talents: thrown weapons, horsemanship, engineer). Bakarat tends the fort's ballistas, of which there are 4. Thargi Swamp Encounter Table 2: apep / 3-hex goo 3: 7 hex giant turtle 4: 4 hex snapping turtle 5: 1d3 crocodiles 6: 1d3 giant wasps (yes, it's breeding season....) 7: 1d6 giant bulldog ants hunting for food 8: 1d6+3 stirges 9:1d3+1 harpies 10: 1 4-hex black dragon 11: uncle teeth 12: 1d3 will-o-wisps |

Re: Duchy of Dran
What would the formula be to roughly estimate the number of buildings needed to supply a town population of 2000? This would be homes, social buildings, manufacturing, etc.
This would be a medieval town. How about a desert town?

That would likely work out still to something like 400 buildings. |

Re: Duchy of Dran
This is an attempt to classify establishments rating with symbols.
Some game systems provide quality references for eating and sleeping establishments as well as stables. Does TFT already have something to rate these? What system do you use to for the GameMaster to rate the establishment? Michelin stars are a rating system used by the red Michelin Guide to grade restaurants on their quality. ... According to the Guide, one star signifies "a very good restaurant", two stars are "excellent cooking that is worth a detour", and three stars mean "exceptional cuisine that is worth a special journey". - Wikipedia But then you need to rate the lower levels too. Would something like this work? Food I really like Midkemia’s Cities (http://www.midkemia.com) references to Accomodations, but that is other IP. Do you rate your inns? If so how do you do it?
