Trying to make a West marches campaign and trying to figure out what I should do for a starting town. Im currently reading through keep on the borderlands but that feels like a lot to keep track of, it’s really good so far tho. What should a town in a West marches campaign even have in it?

What should a town in a West marches campaign even have in it?

  • a relatively safe place to rest
  • resources (hirelings, equipment, etc.) and trade (have to unload those paintings we dragged out of the dungeon somewhere!)
  • access to information, factions, and potential patrons

Also, some antagonists. Nothing pills together a party like a common target of animosity.
