Nicely done first submission. Thank you.

The description is good, implying details and explaing just enough.
There are nice pieces of chrome in all the places of note.
There is good use of format and divisions. Headers were extra useful.

I would like to see more submissions, the Tree, a few NPCs, linked to this location. Check out our taverns The Tired Traveler's Tavern Guide and our tavern extras Those Characters in Inns and Taverns, and other locations. Linking things is always good, as it use easier. Learning all the available linking takes time. So now worries about anything at this point.

I am looking forward to reading your next few submissions.

Now, to paraphrase the Dread Pirate Robert. Good Job. Nicely done. Bask in the glory today. Tommorow you can post something new. You write well enough that can we treat you like a native Strolenite. (This is both a compliment and a burden.) So.

I would of liked to know what the environment is like. That is one area that is too implied. There are lots of different kinds of forest out there. This is a quibble for me, not required.

The piece does leaves me with some questions however:
1) How traveled is the road to/ from/ along this place? There can't be that many adventurers going into the mountain. And if they are, are they really dropping enough coin to support the town?

So we should find out a bit more about travel to and from the town. Is it easy? Is it hard? Is this the end of the road? Inquiring minds need to know.

2) Snowflake Inn expresses that there are traders moving in and out of the area (the special goods he can get). Are these lone traders making a special trip or merchants stopping on their way elsewhere?

3) Blacksmith and leatherworkers get their raw goods from? Just need to know if it is comming in from traders, there is a local mine/ ranch, or the adventurers are bringing it back. This dictates the prices and quantity of stock.

4) ... is a small community of only a scant couple hundred , especially a scant couple of hundred. That is awkward phrasing. Clarify this please. Small in reference to a town, city, other communities in the area?

I think these questions answered would take this well towards a 5, especially for a first sub.

PS: Say, you wouldn't happen to have any talented writing friends that you would want to bring here? Go to Comment

First sub or not, this is rather well written indeed.

I would like a better handle on the general 'mood' of the community as a whole, but otherwise, thumbs up. Go to Comment

Awesome! You have to tell me when you plan on using this in a Game. I'll love to join Go to Comment

Yeah, what they said. Go to Comment

Very good, much better then my first submission. How important a holy place is the Silver Oak? What has stopped some cash-strapped monarch sending soldiers to cut it down? Go to Comment

Well, all the good comments are taken, but I lean towards Muro when he says this reminds him of his first sub. They are both similiar in that it's not an action or danger packed enviroment. And it's something about the mood and style of the piece. Anyway, this is a good one- And it's raised the bar for first timers:)

Glad to have you onboard Silve. Go to Comment

BUMP and HoH. If you enjoy this piece, go see Qacha's Neck as well.

By shear volume and size this is fantastic and can easily be printed out and thrown into my towns/ villages folder for use on a random day.

1) Is there a town watch? Militia? Gaurds of some sort? I see where they are mentioned but a short detail would be nice.

2) This was stated prevously about the "bad". What bad has happened here? A riot perhaps in the Cracked Mug Tavern?

3) A few important or personal nps's would be nice, other than just the owner of this store, etc. A short description of a few of them that any players may come into contact with would be nice.

4) Also a few plot hooks would be well worth the effort.

Just a few basic ideas. I realize this is an older sub, and for a first sub this was grand indeed. Wish I would have caught it back when it was first put up.

Let me add to the accolades. Great work! Reminds me of my first sub :)

Most other pertinent comments have been made already.

Great to have you on board, Sil! Go to Comment

Exretemely well written and fleshed out. Welcome to the Citadel, Silveressa. Go to Comment

This has a very classic D&D type feel to it. As a resource it is well put together and well organized. Go to Comment

For a first sub, this is very, very good. There is a lot of creativity packed in here!

I do find that some of the sentences are to me, overlong. I've been reading a book, 100 things a Writer should know, and one of the comments there - which is also popular with another Strolenite Moonhunter - is to read sentences aloud to yourself while editing. Those which seem too long will stand out to you.

Other that then, this is an excellent first effort - and the sentence length could just be me :) Go to Comment

I think this is a fabulous submission! You put a lot of detail into this submission. Great job! Go to Comment

I plan on submitting a lay out of the Serpents Teeth mountains separately sometime in the near future, and thanks for the suggestion on fleshing out the tree a bit more and tossing it in as a separate submission , I just might do so ;) Go to Comment

Updated: Changed sentence structure to be more concise and reworded a few things to remove run on sentences. Go to Comment

Updated: Major Update with a listing of the months and seasons and how the communities lifestyles changes during each one. Go to Comment

Updated: Clarified it's proximity to current trade routes, it's size compared to surrounding population centers, and fleshed out the blacksmith and leather worker a bit more to cover the source and amount of their raw materials.

Oh and MoonHunter, unfortunately I don't know of any other talented writers that are into rpg's, otherwise I'd eagerly invite them to this site. Go to Comment

I'm planning on including the Silver Oak as a separate submission entirely in the next couple days, hopefully that should answer anyones questions about it. Go to Comment

Thanks for the nudge, I'd planned to give this some more attention eventually, but it slipped my mind with other subs and concepts running around.

I'll have to see about another enhancement this weekend! Go to Comment

This! Was your first sub!?

*Stunned*

I really enjoyed it, well done! (Can't believe I missed this one)
