JohnB's Games This site is the hub for the games material I have written over the years. I wrote the first pages of my games site in 2000, and I haven't stopped since. I still have an archive of pre-2000 material on paper, and some of it turns up here, occasionally.

workers_homes - [Leaders]

johnb (johnb@undisclosed.example.com) — 2026-08-30T21:20:10+00:00

Workers Homes and Businesses Overview This covers most of the NPCs that the PCs will come across. Just about every Level-1 NPC class NPC commoner fall into the 3-10 gp/month cost of living range - which equates to 1-3 sp/day. However, remember this section covers a range of different skills and incomes, in general terms, the lower the skill set, the lower the quality of the home, and the smaller the settlement, the lower the quality of the home. The floor plans and descriptions are examples o…

living_on_the_edge - [The Buildings]

johnb (johnb@undisclosed.example.com) — 2026-08-30T15:27:14+00:00

Living on the Edge Overview Not all parts of The Hinterland are the same. In some areas, close to civilisation, there might be patrols along roads or military interest in the town’s economic interests are threatened. It is generally safer, so there are larger farms, investments from town and perhaps even a local militia to organize a posse. At the other extreme, some areas are right on the edge of The Wilderness and could be dealing with minor threats on a daily basis, so settlements tend t…

gurdinford - [Backstory]

johnb (johnb@undisclosed.example.com) — 2026-08-30T12:50:15+00:00

Gurdinford An Example Thorp Gurdinford is a thorp situated in a scrubland thicket, at one of the few crossing places on the Gurdin River. It consists of two Creel Cottages, a garden and an animal pen, joined together as a single compound Overnight, it is guarded by two watchdogs. The carefully curated ring of trees provides shelter and some concealment for the settlement - it isn’t hidden, but it isn’t obvious that there are people living here. Inside the tickets there are radish, wolfberry…

hinterland - [The Edge]

johnb (johnb@undisclosed.example.com) — 2026-08-30T09:06:03+00:00

The Hinterlands Overview 'Country' land, close enough to a big town, city or metropolis to benefit from it economically, but not so close as to benefit from town defenses. It is mainly composed of agricultural settlements that send food and other resources into the local town. There might be a small market town, with a few guards, or a Local Lord who provides some basic defense, and it might reach all the way to a frontier castle - but most residents are low-level NPC classes living the ru…
