06/03/2013 Update - Player Housing!

Current Occupancy List

House 1
: Empty
House 2: Empty
House 3: Empty

We are dipping our toes into the Player Housing pool. 3 small houses have been added to Rivermoot that are purchasable by players. They are priced at 1500gp each (less than a suit of full plate!).

What you get for your money: very little. Each house has a pChest but other than that, the furnishings that come with the house could be considered sparse. Bed, desk, fireplace etc. However, once you purchase a house, it becomes your house. A copy of the area will be available upon request and if you wish to spruce up your dwelling, you can do as you please (within reason, of course). A small gold cost will be attached to modifications to cover the purchasing of any additions you make to your house, likely not more than one or two hundred gold depending on the scope.

Yes, this means it is up to you (or someone you know) to do the tool setting, which will then be submitted to me for a final check over before addition to the mod. The only way we plan to do this is to offload the finesse stage of building to the player who wants the dwelling. It is simply easier as DMs to provide housing in this fashion as it a) cuts down on how long a DM has to spend on it and b) ensures the player can (should they wish it) decorate the house to exactly the way they want it.

There are two limitations on these houses.

1) If you currently have access to a dorm room at the Ladys College, we ask that you do not apply. The pChest is likely a main drawcard of these houses and college students already have access to numerous persistent storage placeables in their rooms.
2) If you never play on TSM, please do not apply. The DM team have no issue with players taking trips, but if you are a PC that players almost entirely on another server, buy a house there instead :)

If you would like a house in a small, flood prone, backwater village that even the Legion gets tired of protecting, we got you covered! Should this prove popular, I am open to adding in other housing options in other places under similar circumstances. If you are interested in a house, please post.

Very interested. I don't suppose anything is available in the Gem though? My PC is based there.

I was actually about to send the following as a PM to Curmudgeon and Thorin, but thought maybe I should see if there is any mention of Player Housing in the TSM forum (gald I did, lol):

Is there any Permanent Housing / P-Chests on TSM? If so, do I need to get on a list or something? Frankly, Muir (my PC) doesn't really need anything much besides a P-Chest, but I suppose a place to rest would be nice. However, I think it is time he started putting down roots in Silverymoon.

So, let me know what hoops need to be jumped through.

There is not, though I suppose it would not be entirely hard to re-tool the houses to link up to doors in Silverymoon itself rather than Rivermoot. RM was simply the most convenient place for it.

To be clear swiffer. No other P-chests without purchasing a house?

No. To my knowledge, the only pChests in Silverymoon are tied to factions (eg the KiS barracks)

There are PChests for devout of Lathander who live at the church, as well.

An obnoxiously intrusive suggestion (which likely is considered anyway):
Since the supply is very limited, provide the houses only to PCs with a plan of making it count, as opposed to a hidden playground to a singular, high-level PC.
Meaning something like a store that is PC owned (public front, private rear), or a safe house / headquarters / supply store to a (PC-based) faction, or a PC-maintained shrine to her diety (with a private quarters), dining room for the local dandy (considering the surroudings, owning a half-dozen set of cutlery probably qualifies for the title) to show off, etc.

Faction-based housing (and OOC p-storage) is available for many PCs AT NO COST, including:

Argent Legion (Rauvinwatch Keep)
Knights in Silver (Silverguard Fortress)
Elves (Everdusk Hall in Silvy)
Dwarves (Citadel Felbarr)

Followers of:
Helm
Selune
Mystra
Torm
Lathander

Registered underclass students at the Ladies College get fancy dorm rooms with pstorage as part of their tuition.

There is also space in the Wands Estate near Rivermoot.

Housing for sale in Rivermoot (currently 4 apartments, all vacant last I looked)
I can also make these same apartments available in Silverymoon if there is a need (see the OP in this thread) fairly easily.

ALL of the above include beds and pstorage. Some of these are dormitory style (many beds & chests in the same space), some offer more privacy. There are also numerous inns offering rooms by the night (without pstorage) at reasonable rates.

That was the plan all along (as the limitations in the OP states) which would have gone into action had anyone actually applied for the housing :P

Kinda hard to want player housing when no one is getting DMed in the first place for a while :p

Additionally, having a house of your own doesn't have much to do with getting DMed unless you can't afford it but even then it would not take long with a couple patrols a day to afford one.

It was a way to open up pChests to people who do not want to represent a faction (or be so closely associated with one that they house in the factions area).
