Guild Real Estate

Advancement
  • Start: Form a new guild by choosing the location of your tent.
  • Three Members: Choose the building or landscaping that will replace your tent.
  • Three Experienced DMs: Place a bonus building or landscaping.

Requirements
  • Guilds must make a report to Guild Hall every week to avoid losing Guild Points(GP).
  • Guilds must make a report every other week to avoid being unlisted.
  • Guilds must have more than 0GP to avoid being discontinued.

Coming Back: Inactive or even discontinued guilds need only make a new report to be relisted.

Leadership Change: Members of an inactive guild can appoint a new leader and make a new thread. Discuss it amongst yourselves beforehand.

Repurposing Land: Discontinued guild land and buildings are essentially abandoned. Any guild in a tent may claim it, even if they don't have 3 members.



Cartography Guild Activities

Travel Cycle
  • Wait for the previous cycle to expire. A Travel Cycle must last at least 3 days.
  • Ask for the locations of the 3 rare drops from the host of the previous cycle.
  • Announce the outcomes of the previous cycle, and place the items the travelers obtained in the Keyforged Inventory Ledger.
  • PM the 3 rare drop locations to another Cartography Guild member, and announce who that is when you begin the cycle.

Treasure Hunt
  • Please finish a Travel Cycle off before starting a Treasure Hunt, or ask someone else to finish it.
  • Hide one or more things in the 5x8 Keyforged map.
  • PM these locations to another Cartography Guild member, and announce who that is when you begin the hunt.




Original post:
This is the start of a potentially much bigger game if there is enough interest. Gameplay is designed and run by everyone who participates, and it all starts with a modest mapping guild at the intersection of a simple crossroads. Ripe with potential to grow into a town.

What ever this town gets named, will be the meta name for the game as a whole. Participants open new guilds to add a new gameplay mechanic, such as combat, currency, or farming. Those who join the guild vote on changes to those mechanics, and help as DMs of those aspects of play. Players can join more than one guild, so long as they are prepared for the additional duties!
---
Welcome to the Cartography Guild. New guilds can request placement on the local map. Until you have 3 members, you will only have a tent. Plots may be reclaimed if a guild stagnates or diminishes.

The dwarven rogue, Bruv Brightbuckle, would like to start The Adventurers Guild. Members can leave town to raid dungeons and have a chance of coming back with treasure. Still thinking about the mechanics. I'd request B4.

Map updated adventurer!

I thought we'd see some of you around.


My name is Blacktooth Ripclaw, the lizardman soldier! Feel free to meet other adventurers here, and when ever you're ready you can make your own guild thread and link it here. I will do the same.

Elliot March, the half-giant brewmeister, would like to start the tavernkeeper's guild on plot A5. Members of the guild can serve patrons, brew beer, or cook meals to earn gold.

Taarka, the raven woman, would like to start the merchant's guild on C4. Members could set up shop and trade items with members of other guilds.

The Human Wizard, Bim the Great, has asked to create the Mages Guild on D4! Members will create spells and magical items by gathering certain materials to craft them on expeditions, and supply their services and craft to other guilds for profit! Let arcane knowledge flow like a river!

Welcome all!

I think, first order of business is to name our outpost, so travelers know what to call it. What are your suggestions, guildmasters?

C4: Merchants tent

D4: Mages tent


PS: I would like to join the tavernkeepers guild!

Are their any water sources nearby? Rivers, streams, or any geologically significant features like a volcano or a mountain? The name should probably reflect those.

Though, if there isn't, I'd vote for naming it Keyforged.

I am glad you asked!

The area outside of camp has not yet been explored. ...I think we all kinda slept on the ride here... Once some more join my guild, we can begin mapping the area. We need to decide how we want to go about it and I want a few minds on the project.


I like Keyforged...

I tried to play chess but two of my opponents were playing competitive checkers as a third person walked in with Game of Thrones in hand confused cause they thought this was the book club.

If guildmasters want to begin working on their mechanics then it may be time to make a thread.
