#HI!
I was hoping you could help me create a village that my players will start in, for there session 0.
If you are unfamiliar with session 0 the idea is to play a session before the main story begins. Where the players create their characters with backgrounds and ties to the information given, in this case detailed information about the Village of Home.
That i hope you can help me create in great detail.
A session 0 is a powerful tool for a DM to have the players care about things. They no longer save the town to get a reward, they save the town because its their home, with friends and people they care about.
So if you would be so kind, share your great imagination and ideas for this little village. weather it be a npc family, how the village works, what's it labor, whats its location etc etc etc
Guidelines for the town
* Only humans
* Populace 300
* No more then 6 magic wielders.
* The Village is fairly weak in combat prowess.
* Characters start at lvl 3.

>Jona Stantler, 57 year old local farmer. Slightly racist, level 2 fighter. Is proficient in Pitchfork.
Jim has had to protect his farm from local monsters (goblins, other demi-humans, whatever you as the DM want) for nearly his entire life. Due to almost all of his experience with other species being centered around violence, he mostly just sees them as inconveniences and threats to his crops.
Constantly protecting his farm has somehow earned him enough combat prowess to be pretty handy in a fight, but he doesn't realize or care about this. Kicking hordes of goblin-ass is just another day in The Village of Home for ol' Jona.

>Dagnar Human son of raeger and eulyse fairly typical childhood. Got his first job with his father helping local farmers with odd jobs eventually becoming just a general handyman not specializing in anything.Every night after work him his father and co workers would go out drinking. Dagnar eventually started feeling the pull of the drink and inevitably just working for enough coin for a drink

>Timothy Timson, 17 year old lvl 1 Bard. Timothy followed in his parent's footsteps as an entertainer. He regularly weaves intricate tales to enrapture the townsfolk in the local tavern or town square and the Timson family are always called upon to recount the towns history at local festivals.
However Timothy has a wild streak and what sets him apart from his family is the tiny bit of magic he's managed to pick up from travelers. He uses his magical talents to prank the locals and sometimes add a bit of flair to his performances.

>Hubert Frugmont, A 46 year-old widower who lost his Inn and family and fortune to a fire which destroyed his Tavern in a regional city. The Tavern was called The Salamander's Redoubt.
With what he had left he started a new life in the Village of Home.
He works at the Village of Home's Tavern [Unnamed] as the barkeeper and is granted a small room in the basement as part of the terms of his employment.
