Northpoint Revisited

September 12, 2010 by shent_lodge

I decided to change the game stats for the city of Northpoint in my home game world using the PF Game Mastery Guide as a reference. I had stats on the town from days of old, but since my players may end up there in my to Kill a King game, I thought I should update things; I actually like the way PF GMG attempt to organize a town. I updated the actual static page for Northpoint with info from my blog posts so I don’t have to search all over later. Here is what I did:

I started with my old stats and then reinterpreted using chapter 7 of the PF Game Mastery Guide. I can not remember what web town generator I used to make Northpoint in the past I do know I have at least three copies of notes dating back to 1999 for Northpoint.
