Mapping the Community

How many houses are there? Who lives
in which ones? What’s the local region
like? If it’s a nomadic or semi-nomadic
community, how much does the layout
change when you move to a new base?
Keep track of the location type asso-
ciated with particular places. That’s not
something that’s set in stone, but it’s
worth remembering things like:
• This part of the forest is very dense
and easy to get lost in. (Type: maze)
• This swamp is filled with dangerous
alligators. (Type: den)

skills and benefits
Here are some examples of people’s
potential specialties and the associated
benefits.
You should also create your own
custom specialties, as the group comes
up with people in the community and/
or needs for particular help. Keep the
benefits in line with these—it should
be something limited but useful, the
improved benefit might be a more effec-
tive version, and the special benefit may
be something quite unusual but is also
specific or only useful in limited cir-
cumstances. Some of the very powerful
magical special benefits have additional
costs attached to using them.
