Not everyone likes to party in the city, read musty old books or prey, some hit the rural trails and look for recreation in the wilds. Many character classes would rather spend time in the bush than the city and this is for them.
I have considered a maritime version of this also. I considered a table for people or monsters living in dungeon communities. Any other tables for downtime recommendations I will consider.
JD asked last post how I use these tables - sometimes it is just to imply hero had a adventure in between game - especially if time passes or player misses a game - i might play as a solo for each player like Pendragon games have a solo phase if it would take a few rolls or all could be resolved in similar time.
I will be 3 game logs behind now doh. Considering revising my religions to as im using babylonian gods in a game i might customise my dnd setting gods more. Using Babylonian gods was always a shorthand.
