The Pastoral Halflings

This article is one of a series providing basic information for someone choosing to role-play a Halfling of the Pastoral Culture in a TTRPG based in the World of Cartyrion. The series is designed to encourage preparation of a Player Character by focusing on the nature of the character without focusing on the game statistics.

For you and your family, the good life is defined by a pleasant place to live, plenty of food for the table, and a wonderful family surrounding you. That's really all you will need to be happy in the long run. Of course you are still young - too young to settle down. You've got to see a bit of the world, if only so you will be sure in the future that what you really wanted was at home all along. But even as you travel the roads, and forest trails, and dungeon corridors of your adventuring career, you are thinking about that warm fireplace, that small garden of beautiful turnips growing outside your window, and your children bouncing on your knee as you enjoy your pipeweed and a nice foamy beverage.
