As fantasy roleplaying game characters advance in level, they should also advance in station within the game world. While magic swords are enduring rewards that technically increase a hero’s power and influence, they tend to lose their novelty quickly. For game masters and players who want to truly invest in their world, there is no better reward than a base or a business. These shops and strongholds serve not only as physical seats of power and places of respite, but they also allow loot-laden adventurers to spread their wealth, attract hirelings, and raise their status in other helpful ways.
*This supplement provides simple rules for building and maintaining four types of bases and forty businesses that grant unique 5e character features adaptable to any d20 fantasy RPG. Each base is linked to a core character archetype and includes both a sample location map and a table of nonplayer character hirelings ready to drop into your game.
*NOTE: This sample has 1 base and 10 businesses. For all 4 bases, 40 businesses, maps, and more, check out the full version available to Builder tier Patrons (now until Nov 20th) and Master tier Patrons (now until Dec 18th). Join here: https://www.patreon.com/bobworldbuilder
