SETTING UP THE ADVENTURE


Starting Location

The first thing we’re doing is creating our starting town of ‘Hallow Creek’. It’s a small (1,500 – 2,000) population trade town, located along a river and a river highway thoroughfare. There’s not too many amenities located here.

This will be our starting location for our adventurer.



The map was generated using Cityographer with a few manual changes. Cityographer outputs basic descriptions of all the buildings, giving a nice key to the entire town. This includes basic availability lists for shops. While this may not do for all occasions, for most basic items it should prevent the need to look up charts and roll up stuff from the PF books.


It also provides a nice list of possible NPCs in these locations to interact with. Combined with things rolling up in Mythic GME this should provide a good backdrop for the adventures.



I was thinking of adding some of the tables for mythic to the tables section of Fantasy Grounds, but that's going to be a lot of work I'm not sure I want to put in.

I decided I’d roll up a human ranger. I have a general idea for the background, but I’ll go into that a bit later. I used the 3rd Edition ‘organic’ method for generating ability scores. After applying the +2 for a humie, I ended up with 14, 13, 13, 13, 14 and 12. Not bad, but nothing great either. I’d have liked to have had at least one “+3” in there. Oh well. At least there’s no serious deficiencies. This ranger will be a ‘Weapon and Shield’ ranger.
