New City Page Discussion - CityGenerator/Megacosm-Generator GitHub Wiki

So, what do I actually want from a city generation page? After this past campaign, I've had to rethink what it should contain.

My goal is a page to generate a city for a pickup game with no preparation time.

Primary Needs

  • A name and description (no more than three lines)
  • A random commoner to answer questions
  • a list of races seen (e.g. mostly human with a few elves and gnomes)
  • A gathering place
  • a job board

Secondary Needs

  • the "feel" of the city- Imposing, restrictive, calm, happy, etc
  • what's happening in the city right now
  • a place to buy supplies
  • a place to sell loot
