Inspirations from "The Village and the Witch"
The Village and the Witch (by Davide Pignedoli et al) is a 16-page toolbox to easily and quickly develop a settlement with secrets, tension, and adventure. The process begins by rolling an entire array of six dice (d4, d6, d8, 10, d12, and d20) on a blank page. Each die termines a feature in the village and the spot on which it lands on the page its relative location in the village. Each feature, chosen from a table, is a seed of an idea to flesh out the overall underlying plots surrounding a witch and the village. The witch is a central character and must be developed in more detail.
