Caravans

[Riev]

That is a very excellent idea, Betaal, especially if it is easily implemented. It would give guards and mercenaries something to do while travelling, and the extra goods and whatnot is just smashing.

Perhaps the space for people riding along could be limited, so as only a few PCs could actually hitch a ride? That would certainly bring down the number of PCs using an NPC automated service, and surely I'd love to have an argosy of my own with cheaper prices, or a faster set of beasts.

For Arm.1 fixes:

PCs with access to clan wagons should post about offering rides
The byn should get a shotty ol' wagon for their schedualed trips

Add a rumor board at the gates -- telling if someone is interested in getting a ride on such-and-such date and about what time.

Sorry to be the Necromancer of ancient posts but I really, really wanted to see this idea implemented.

I think it'd bring alot more "life" to the world.

Having a caravan that moves from Allanak to Luirs, then to Tuluk and back would be amazing. Maybe staying at each location an In-game week before moving to the next town in line?

It doesn't even have to "travel", to be honest. Like a certain camp south of Luirs, it could just randomly appear in a different location each in-game week or something...

Be the change, blah, blah.

If you write up the descriptions for the base, the rooms in it, the caravan, what it holds, the NPCs that man it, etc, and submit it, maybe staff'll build it, since you went and did a lot of work for them.

Yeah, I actually  might do that instead of complaining. It might be fun.
