Hi! I realized recently that this is just something I have mentioned in Discord, and have not actually put into writing anywhere.
Resources in our setting are rare, and that is by design. The desire is to prompt players to form expeditions to discover new sources of materials. Any organization seeking to increase their presence in the world, or gain exclusive access to a particular resource, can post their intent and desire here. This is not meant for friends in groups of three, but rather for actual organizations. Noble houses, guilds, trading companies, mega corporations, whatever your group is, if you're a legitimate organization you can lay claim to a part of the world.
The way it works:
You pick a general location where you would like to look, and what general resource you're looking for. I will roll dice to determine what you will find, the intensity of it, and how rich the vein/copse/herb patch/whatever is. If applicable/possible, we will push a map update to create the situation you're looking for. Sometimes, due to the stage of map work we're in, this won't be possible. Other times, like in the case of a copse of lumber, the changes to the world may be gradual and over time until you exhaust the supply.
Some resources can be expanded upon, with time investment, RP, and/or connections to those with the power to further your ambitions (High Houses are a prime example, as they possess the man-power to industrialize your mine).
Some expeditions can end very horribly, as you discover a terrible creature that has slumbered peacefully until you disturbed it's rest.
Get to work taming the world. Make your mark.
