Hey Playground,
My family is currently doing a 3.5 campaign and I've had this dream (for the past seven years or so) of running my own town or county or country or something. I just want to act as a noble ruler and still be an adventurer, because the concept of figuring out how to manage resources and people in a fantasy setting have always intrigued me. My sister, as our DM, has been hesitant to allow anything like this or write it into our campaign because she doesn't want it to bog down the game. I'm wondering who of you out there have successfully done something like this and made it work fairly smoothly with adventuring. Any and all help is appreciated.
Note: I don't want to sound rude, but I don't care for any comments along the lines of "D&D just gets messy/slow/confusing/clunky/uninteresting when the PCs become rulers". I know it can become something like that, but that's why I'm here - to prevent that.
Note 2: Please ask for any sort of clarification that you might need in order to help me better!
