Instead of letting the PC's know of a system, I will subtly show their level of trust in the town by how I RP the various townsfolk. I think this will work better, and will hopefully defuse some of the rush to get to Harrowstone, allowing more RP in the town. Although I'm going to keep track of trust, it will be an invisible system to the PC's. I'd be curious what you all think.īehind-the-scenes. Here are some modifications of the trust system I am considering implementing. (he hurt his back) (+2 trust, 2 days work, 4 sp)ĩ.) Farmer Flurgenhurgen - 25 gp reward for the death of the wolf or wolves killing his goats. Barlow farmħ.) Barn Raising in 4 days (+2 Trust if the pcs help)Ĩ.) Farmer Pendergast needs his hay brought in from the fields. (-1 trust if harmed by pc)ģ.) Estate Sale for Ms Burbager in 3 daysĤ.) Zokar the Innkeeper is looking for some day laborers (1sp for the day) Trust +1 as the pcs prove they aren’t vagrantsĦ.) For Sale: 1 wheelbarrow, 2 spades, 1 pitchfork, Plow with harness, 2 Scythe, misc handtools. Have you seen her? (+1 Trust for catching) DC-15 perception or tracking to find. As well as Xp if you have a larger party that might need it to maintain levels.ġ.)Millie the Baker is looking for some day laborers (2sp for the day) Trust +1 as the pcs prove they aren’t vagrantsĢ.) Taren's pet Bungo the Bunny is missing. You can post extra jobs on them for the party to gain trust. Has there been some ruling to fix this, and if not, how did you deal with it in your experiences?ĭon't forget the posting poles around town. The real man's dump stat." Several research rolls only add to the problem that trust is near impossible to build without house rules. Granted this was made worse by my particular group (their group motto should be "INT. To glean all of the useful information requires many high knowledge rolls that require potentially several rolls.
This also brings to light the research rolls. By RAW, if the PC's dawdle at all, they would be run out of town before their month is up even in the best of circumstances. This is only compounded by the fact that trust is lost at the rate of one per day, making the time frame to complete the adventure quite quick. This barely brings the PC's into trusted territory, and makes it impossible to gain the necessary trust points to gain access to any of the locations for research. As far as I can tell, there are only seven trust points to gain throughout the entire adventure (defusing the mod in the graveyard, befriending the children, Stopping Gibs Hephenius without killing him, and saving the people from the town hall fire).
