“Because no adventure is complete without a home to come back to.”
Captain Armory of the Armored Brigade
It’s no secret that people like having places to live, and in games especially, it’s one of the few remaining places we get to live out the ultimate fantasy of proper homeownership. Far be it from us to stand in the way of your effortless home improvement projects and overnight super-easy-barely-an-inconvenience renovations. Oh, yeah, we also consider
Boats a type of player housing.
If you have enough coin in your pocket and have chosen to chase down your dreams of suburban bliss, you can spend some change to place down your own home somewhere in the enormous world of Chromatia. There’s plenty of room for everyone. Owning your own property grants you a personalized RP channel in the Player Housing category, and as it’s your own play space, you’re free to do with it as you please – host your own
Miscellania adventures, organize meet-n-greets with your fellow guildsmen, RP yourself watching paint dry, or whatever else you see fit to do with the territory.
For the sake of convenience, we’ve attached housing options to your
Lifestyle. In other words, in order to upkeep your property, you must meet the minimum lifestyle requirements to afford it. If you can’t afford upkeep, or decide you no longer want the property, the channel goes into archive status (don’t worry, we won’t delete your stuff).
To purchase property, consult the below table for pricing. Then, head over to #ask-a-gan after noting your purchase, give us a name, an approximate location on Chromatia’s
World Map, and a brief description, so we can make the channel for you. To the same extent, if you wish to restore an archived channel, just let staff know.
- If you’d like a version of your property that flies, double the base cost and increase the upkeep requirement by one step (modest to comfortable, comfortable to wealthy, wealthy to aristocratic). If the upkeep is already aristocratic, double the upkeep cost instead.
- Most housing options are able to operate some level of trade or business in your absence, permitting the cost of hirelings (both skilled and unskilled) to be included your purchase. These hirelings do not count against your upkeep expenses. The value left over (ie, what you pay) is whatever cannot be reliably covered by staff autonomy. What exactly they’re doing when you’re not around is up to you, provided it remains within the boundaries of the "I Know a Guy" (Background) rule.
- If you wish for the same character to own multiple properties, increase your upkeep by one step unless you’re already living an aristocratic lifestyle; in which case, simply add the combined total(s) to your total upkeep cost (for example, if I own both a galley and a small castle, my weekly upkeep is 110 gp before taking anything else into consideration).
