Ten inessential worldbuilding features for local communities in your fantasy RPG:

A grievance or conflict of interest with a neighbouring community which the community's members feel much more strongly about than the issue's magnitude really warrants

A substance or commodity important to everyday life with no local source, and the complicated and inconvenient arrangement the community has made to obtain it from outside sources

A local practice or custom whose original motivation has been rendered obsolete by changing circumstances, and which is now carried forward out of tradition

Something that's technically illegal, but everyone does it on the sly anyway, with enforcement of its illegality being reserved for people the community's leaders want to mess with for unrelated reasons

An obscure piece of trivia or local history which the community's members regard as obvious and widely known, to the extent of treating outsiders with contempt for revealing their ignorance of it

Some undertaking or realm of achievement in which the community isn't particularly exceptional, but which the community's members believe they're the best around at as a point of civic pride

A mostly harmless thing that nobody talks about because its existence or some facet of its historical context is regarded as an embarrassment to the community

A particular prank that's become traditional to play on visitors to the community, and which occasionally gets taken further than is strictly appropriate

A specific area of the setting's history where what the community's members insist really happened is wildly at odds with the accepted version of events

A genuinely dangerous circumstance that everyone treats with casual disregard because it's always been there, and only a damn fool would actually get hurt by it anyway

Benoit Blanc, absolute icon that he is, got out of the bath and put on a dress shirt and tie (and cuff links!) to do business at home, but then also added a dressing gown over it because, y'know, he's at home.

This building has always baffled me. In the three decades I’ve lived in this neighborhood, I’ve never seen anyone go in or out of it, nor has it ever appeared to be open. In addition, I’m not aware of any significant ethnic Portuguese population in the area and if there was one in the past, it hasn’t left any obvious traces behind aside from this building (the closest thing I can think of is the Brazilian jiujitsu studio a couple blocks away). #localmysteries #weirdshitnyc #lusoamericano (at Luso-American Cultural Center - Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoS-sEvvcDw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A happy 148th birthday to the great Charles Hoy Fort (1874–1932), chronicler of the weird, the anomalous, and the fantastic. #charlesfort #forteantimes #forteana https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg7v1vTPPhb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
