<h1>THE WORLD</h1>
|
||
<h2>CHAPTER NINE: TYPICAL FEATURES</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The typical Sleepy Hamlet should include at least one of these features:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>A gentle, soothing landscape.</li>
|
||
<li>An eager population, although unaware of the outside world.</li>
|
||
<li>A wise person of few words.</li>
|
||
<li>A small shrine tied to a forgotten legend.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<h2>POSITION</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The Sleepy Hamlet is a starting location par excellence – it could even be
|
||
the birthplace of one or all protagonists (perhaps with the exception of one
|
||
of them, an outsider whose sudden arrival puts events into motion). Our
|
||
heroes might expect a happy welcome, unless some negative event undermines
|
||
the locals’ trust. Even then, it should be possible to rebuild it.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>THE VILLAINS' PLANS</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
A place like Breezeburg is rarely relevant in the antagonists’ plans, unless
|
||
they were born and raised there. Perhaps they were childhood friends of the
|
||
eldest among Player Characters. More often, an antagonist might be looking
|
||
for an item or a person that lives here, or the Hamlet might suffer
|
||
collateral damage in the wake of the Villain’s plan or the catastrophe they
|
||
unleashed.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>POSSIBLE QUESTIONS FOR THE GROUP</h2>
|
||
<p>These questions can seed conflict and mystery:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Breezeburg is isolated, but not forgotten – there is just nothing too
|
||
remarkable here. Is it really such a happy place? What is about to change?
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Creatures that couldn’t live anywhere else proliferate here, thanks to the
|
||
untouched wilderness. What makes them unique?
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
The villagers live in harmony with the land, the flora, the fauna, and
|
||
every other natural element. Where does this tradition come from?
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
A gentle breeze keeps the windmill’s blades in constant motion. What
|
||
traditions stem from this unusual situation?
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Although welcoming, the locals are very narrow-minded and suspicious about
|
||
innovations. Why?
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
