Settlement Management Guide?

Post by SkipiusEsq » Tue Jan 21, 2020 2:46 pm

Is there someplace where there is a Settlement Management Guide? I would like to understand how the various aspects of running a settlement work to help manage one effectively. For example, setting buy/sell prices; buying resources from other settlements; determining taxes collected in a given period to help set both tax rates and goals for shops; etc. I saw there was some information on the wiki, but that was pretty basic.

If this is a FOIG thing, I would think that the NPCs that are consistent in the settlements would educate those that are in control to help them properly manage.

Thanks

I don't believe there is, but when time comes back to me, I'l see about including this in the work in progress player handbook.
Please don't feed my sister.

I will say this:

Having a guide and finding out the basics of how settlment mechanics work is absolutly fine. That's only to be expected, it's big, complex and in places very fiddly, so having a guide is an excellent idea.

That. Being. Said.

Don't be afraid of doing things differently, of making mistakes or making chioces your character would make.

Just because your Int 8 barbarian Chaotic Evil became the leader of a settlment, doesn't mean they became an Int 20 Lawful Good King.
This too shall pass.

(I now have a DM Discord (I hope) It's DM GrumpyCat#7185 but please keep in mind I'm very busy IRL so I can't promise how quick I'll get back to you.)
