Utopian Experiment Settlement

Settlements, Utopian Experiment

At a Glance

A Utopian Experiment Settlement was founded around a deliberate social ideal. Its inhabitants believe government and daily life can be organised more fairly, rationally or harmoniously than in neighbouring realms, and a council or assembly exists to defend those founding principles.

Using It in Play

The settlement’s ideals should create both strengths and pressure points. Consensus may work well during ordinary times but become difficult during war, famine or succession crises. Outsiders may admire the experiment, exploit it or try to prove it cannot survive.

Adventure Use

The most interesting conflict is often not whether the settlement is secretly evil, but how sincere people respond when their principles become costly.
