Trying to make a West marches campaign and trying to figure out what I should do for a starting town. Im currently reading through keep on the borderlands but that feels like a lot to keep track of, it’s really good so far tho. What should a town in a West marches campaign even have in it?
Mechanically, I really like Helix from Barrowmaze as it has just enough of everything you need for a home base.
Honestly my favourite thing to do though is to create the village with my players during session 1. They’re always far more engaged, they remember more about the town and it’s people, and it’s usually hilarious.
