Weekly Domain Upkeep

A domain is a faction with at least one controlled hex and 100 citizens. This is the procedure a player follows weekly to advance his domain's state. It runs the weekly encounter checks, tracks domain projects, and reminds the monthly refresh.

Used by: the end of each in-game week, or DM judgment.
Uses: Domain Encounters for the weekly checks; Monthly Domain Refresh once per in-game month.
Goes back to: the campaign calendar.
Records to update: Domain notes.

Step 1: Roll encounter checks

An encounter check is a single 1d20. A roll of 18 or higher is positive (an encounter happens). Make the week's encounter checks, invoking Domain Encounters once per positive result.

  • One wilderness check.
  • One civilized check.
  • Two additional civilized checks if the domain has a trade road network, or for an island domain, a working port.

Other checks may be added for unusual conditions: a holy day, faction in turmoil, recent disaster, etc.

Step 2: Advance projects

For each Domain Project currently underway:

  • Apply this week's gold cost.
  • Reduce remaining duration by one week.
  • If a project completes, apply its effect and note it on the Domain Sheet.

Monthly refresh

At the beginning of every month, use Monthly Domain Refresh.
