(image from Armenian Tenement Houses | Zamość, Poland | Gábor Tikos | Flickr) Today for Dungeon23, we're continuing to write blocks in the city of Zamość. Yesterday, we did hex 6,5 (the Ratusz and nearby tenements). Our next block, hex 7,5, is mixed-use. Nearby to the Great Market, the Salt Market, and the Ratusz, (hex 3,7, we'll get there another day), this block boasts a tavern, an inn, and guild workshops. The second and third stories are dedicated housing: the inn has a half-dozen private rooms, the workshops house both the apprentices and family of the workshop's head, and the tavern employees live above the tavern. There are a few rooms available for long-term rent above the tavern, but the tavernkeeper would rather let the rooms stay empty than let untrustworthy folk stay there. This is still the respectable part of town, after all. The guild workshops might include a bakery, tailor, turner, or other trades that cater to the burghers' level of income and also aren't noisome (no smithies, for sure). Player characters can easily find short-term housing, of varying quality: the tavern floor is the cheapest, the inn's common room slightly nicer and more expensive, and the inn's private rooms the best one can get here. They can also get an excellent meal and good drinks, as all the burghers from the Ratusz will come here for lunch and dinner, and they'll likely frequent the tavern on the weekends to blow some steam off. Players hoping to ingratiate themselves with the Ratusz' burghers are likely to find much more success befriending them here, over a glass purchased at the player characters' expense, rather than accosting them at their place of work. Players who make friends with the residents of this block can get an earful of all the local gossip: recent guild feuds, spicy relationship speculation, rumors from nearby blocks, and so on. They would also be able to rent the apartments above the tavern for long-term housing that's less expensive than those available near the Ratusz. That'll do for now. I think we'll continue tomorrow with the next hex adjacent to the Great Market, hex 6,7.
