Tips for Great Settlements

  • Lock (🔒): Keep a name or feature you like and reroll the rest.
  • Use the Calamity and Conflict as instant adventure hooks.
  • The Descriptor sets the tone for roleplay.
  • A settlement's Type will determine the options in the Shop Generator (e.g., "Village" vs "City" stock).
  • Add your own settlement types (e.g., "Elven Treetop", "Dwarven Hold") in the editor and create matching name parts for them.
