It is a bit of a stretch, as the ocean while vital to the operation of a port and salt extraction operation, plays little role in the actuall submission. This is a good submission, therefor I shall allow it.
Good job! This place is detailed nicely with the interwoven plot ideas. Perhaps a few headers on the paragraphs, but all in all really good! Go to Comment
Excellent city, and can work just as well as a low tech frontier city for a space faring game. A little extra detail of prominant NPC's and notable businesses would make this even more useful.
Well said, Scras. This is a beautifully thought out city... the combination of salt and cattle industries is a well planned, natural seeming progression of a city's ecomonic growth (this, coming from an economist, so well done). I particularly like the plentiful numbered footnotes corresponding to different sections of the writeup. Very nice! Go to Comment
It should be noted, that in the temperate parts of a world may be only one season for a decent harvest - the other harvests would be weak or not present at all. But that's a regional modification - and this is indeed a calendar for a whole world.
I'd wager there will be a graphical representation of the year, with symbols for each 'month'; from crude circles with eleven parts for the common people, up to finely worked out pieces of art, detailed down to each single day. Would make a great prop to hand out to the players (and a cool picture here as well :) ).
Great world-defining piece! (Oh, and congratulations to the first submission!) Go to Comment
Nice work Doc, I do recall I game I played in some years ago in an ill-fated PBeM. The GM in question had his realm operating on it's very special calendar, there were pholars instead of months, and those were only two weeks long, and it wasnt a terran year, but something odd like 17 earth months in their year, and we were expected to keep up with what the date was. Very confusing and utterly pointless.
This, this I like. I goes with the natural cycle of the harvests, which was the most important thing when 95% of the population was engaged in agriculture, rather than the 5% involved in it now. Go to Comment
