Creating a Venue
Creating a Venue
For full rules on In Town actions, please see the Town & Roleplay Guide.
1. Purchase the "Setting Up Shop" perk to create a Venue.
2. Choose ONE Passive and ONE Action for any new Venue. If an Action selected for your Venue requires you to make a decision of available sub-options, those decisions are made ONLY ONCE when you FIRST ADD the Action to your venue.
3. All Venues come with "Complete a Job" on top of the selected Action.
Additional Passives & Actions can be unlocked later with additional Townlife Perks. Also, each Venue can choose one Action to upgrade to a higher tier with an additional Townlife Perk.
A title can be earned throughout play that will also provide UNIQUE benefits to your venue to be determined with the GM Council based on the choice of title and your deeds.

Description
Assembly Line
When you open your Venue, pick one specific non-scroll consumable. If you are Expert, choose two. If you are Master, choose three. If you are Legendary, choose four.
For each unique player that visits your venue this week, pick one of your chosen consumables. The maximum amount of times that you may attempt to Craft a batch of that consumable this week increases by ONE.
(This does not grant additional Craft actions.)
Central Location
You recieve an extra 'In Town' action for every two unique players that visit your venue that can be used on any of your own venue actions or to Withdraw RP XP.
(You can only ever spend a total of five additional actions and/or reactions from Venue Passives per week.)
Challenge Mode
You receive a free Challenge to Contest 'In Town' action with any unique player that visits your venue for the week.
(You can only ever spend a total of five additional actions and/or reactions from Venue Passives per week.)
Chatty Customers
You can withdraw an extra 50 XP from your banked RP XP with every 'In Town' action that you perform while your venue is open. This includes the Withdraw RP XP action.
(No matter which actions or passives you use to Withdraw RP XP, you may not convert more than 800 RP XP per week.)
Ergonomic Setup
Choose one category of Specialty Crafting. You can use the "Made to Order" reaction five additional times this week to craft any item from the category of Specialty Crafting you selected.
(You can only ever spend a total of five additional actions and/or reactions from Venue Passives per week.)
Healing Aura
While your Venue is Open, you gain a +1 circumstance bonus to rank and a +2 circumstance bonus to any counteract checks to cure afflictions when using "In Town" actions.
If a player uses the Seek Treatment, Medical Services, or Magical Services actions at your venue, gain 100 RP XP. This bonus only applies once per weekly-unique player up to a maximum of 500 RP XP.
Help Wanted
While your Venue is Open, you can place an additional Venue Quest on the Quest Board and your maximum number of rewards from Venue Quests per week increases to FOUR.
When players successfully complete a Venue Quest you have posted related to a clock, the clock receives an additional tick of progress. Any single clock can benefit from this bonus only TWICE per week from a single Venue.
When a Venue Quest you have posted is completed, you can choose from the following rewards instead of the normal rewards:
Materials+ - You receive 75% of a TP worth of a specific type of Resources.
Efficiency - You receive an additional In Town action for the week.
Fame+ - You receive 150 RP XP.
(You can only ever spend a total of five additional actions and/or reactions from Venue Passives per week. If you choose to take the Efficiency reward THREE or more times a week, the third or fourth additional action count against this limit.)
Inside Track
When YOU use actions at your Venue that have a gold or resource cost (such as Hefty Meal or Browse Library), reduce the cost by 50%. This does not reduce the cost of materials for other "In Town" actions such as Crafting or Learning a Spell. This discount does not apply to visitors of your Venue.
Inventive Tools
Choose one category of Specialty Crafting. When you take the Craft 'In Town' action to create an item from the category of Specialty Crafting you selected, you have a PL+5 % chance to create a 'Masterwork' item. This increases to a PL+10 % chance to create a Masterwork if the Craft action was a Critical Success. Masterwork items allow you to combine the passive or on-use effects of another item at a similar level with the original item, pending GM Council approval.
(Whenever you succeed at a craft, roll a d100 and if you roll the target % or below, your craft is also a Masterwork. At level 5, this would be a 10% chance on a Successful craft, and a 15% chance on a Critical Success.)
Magic Circles
While your Venue is Open, you can perform all primary and secondary checks for rituals that you cast as long as you have all of the required skills to perform the ritual. Any checks required for Magical Services, Transfer Knowledge, or Rituals cast at your venue gain a +2 untyped bonus to their rolls.
If you perform Magical Services for another player or a player uses the Transfer Knowledge action to learn a spell from you while your venue is active, gain 100 RP XP. This bonus only applies once per unique player per week up to a maximum of 500 RP XP.
Outside Track
While your Venue is Open, when visitors use actions at your Venue that have a gold or resource cost (such as Hefty Meal or Browse Library), they reduce the cost by 20%. This does not reduce the cost of materials for other "In Town" actions such as Crafting or Learning a Spell. This discount does not apply to yourself as you are never considered a visitor at your venue.
Philosopher's Stone
While your Venue is Open, you can ignore all common spell or class related requirements for crafting items. (You must provide uncommon or rare spell requirements as normal.)
Pit Boss
You watch over the tasks you set like a hawk to ensure they are completed to your standards. Everyone who takes the Complete a Job action at your venue receives a circumstance bonus of +1 to their rolls. When your RP Jobs are completed successfully, you gain +30 additional RP XP per participant.
Plentiful Resources
While your Venue is Open, your Craft actions cost 20% less gold or resources to complete. This stacks multiplicatively with any other crafting cost reductions the character may already have and is calculated before the result of the crafting check.
Professional Guidance
You can use the "Aid" reaction five additional times times per week to aid each unique visitor at your venue once with a check they are making for any of your Venue Actions except for the "Complete a Job" action.
When you use the Aid reaction to aid any unique player at your venue, you have the option to aid as normal or to instead make the check on behalf of the Visitor. Either way, if the player’s Action is successful, you receive 75 RP XP up to a maximum of 450 RP XP per week.
(You can only ever spend a total of five additional actions and/or reactions from Venue Passives per week.)
Quest Hub
While your Venue is Open, you can place an additional Venue Quest on the Quest Board and your maximum number of rewards from Venue Quests per week increases to FOUR.
When players successfully complete a Venue Quest you have posted, they each receive an additional reward of your choice of 25% a TP worth of either Gold, Minerals, Furs, or Herbs. This choice is specified when the Quest is posted and must be included in the Quest Board posting.
When a Venue Quest you have posted is completed, you can choose from the following rewards instead:
Materials+ - You receive 75% of a TP worth of a specific type of Resources.
Efficiency - You receive an additional In Town action for the week.
Fame+ - You receive 150 RP XP.
(You can only ever spend a total of five additional actions and/or reactions from Venue Passives per week. If you choose to take the Efficiency reward THREE or more times a week, the third or fourth additional action count against this limit.)
Relaxing Atmosphere
You receive 30 RP XP for each unique player that visits your venue for the week up to a total maximum of 450 RP XP per week.
Social Butterfly
You receive an extra 'In Town' action for every two unique players that visits your venue this week that can be used to Visit a Venue or to Withdraw RP XP.
(You can only ever spend a total of five additional actions and/or reactions from Venue Passives per week. You are never a visitor on your own venue, so this does not grant additional actions at your venue.)
Steady Income
For each unique player that visits your venue this week, you get a free "Earn Income" action. These do not count against the normal limit of "Earn Income" and can not critically succeed or critically fail.
(You can only ever spend a total of five additional actions and/or reactions from Venue Passives per week.)

Pick an available hireling, they join you on your next adventure and you gain their passive benefit. If the Hireling provides a passive benefit to any skill other than a Lore skill, you also gain the benefit of Untrained Improvisation for that skill. Only one hireling can be active at a time for a chosen character.
These hirelings are non-combatants, and typically go out of their way to hide in the case of danger. They are here for a job and their primary goal is their own survival. Hirelings in most situations are not targetable by effects, and their actions are controlled entirely by the GM. In the rare case that a stat-block is needed for a hireling, you can use the average stats for a creature of PL-5. If your hireling dies or is otherwise 'misplaced' during an adventure, the next hireling you contract from the same venue will cost TWICE the normal rate.
Add an additional choice to your hireling options.
