Yarmas's Hearth, an alehouse in Saltmere, is a sturdy, weather-stained building with a faded painted sign swinging over the door. Inside, low beams are hung with dried herbs and old lanterns, and the tables are crowded close together. A rack of clay pipes hangs by the hearth, each with a name scratched on the stem.
Staff it with real people.
Suggest the usual staff for the kind of place, then build each person or pick someone you have already made. Mark someone as family of the owner and they share the last name and some traits.
How to Staff a tavern, shop or temple
- Open Locations and the location you want. Find its Staff section.
- Press Suggest the usual staff to add empty positions for the roles that place normally has (a tavern gets a tavern keeper, a cook and servers, for example). Not what you want? Use Add a role to pick any role for any place. Remove role takes one away.
- For each role, choose Add a new character or Use an existing character.
- When you add a new one, set the race and gender if you care (or leave them Any), pick the age group, then press Build. The site makes the person to fit the job.
- Tick Family of the owner and the character shares the owner's last name and race, and may look and act like them. Build the owner or leader first.
- Remove takes someone out of a role. They stay in your Characters list.
Staff are hidden from players until you share them with Seen by.
Tip: build the owner, then the family, then everyone else. Then open the character cards to adjust the details.
