Have you ever had someone try to RP living a normal life with a normal occupation in a fantasy world (eg:being a barkeep) in one of your games?

Never went with it but sometimes when I rolled really shitty stats I thought of playing someone who was accompanying the heroes, like a squire or a chronicler.
I wonder if anyone has made a system for playing a party of townsfolk in a comfy fantasy village with social interaction, social intrigue and social developments being the main plot.
>playing a party of townsfolk in a comfy fantasy village
Ryuutama is about villagers exploring a Final Fantasy world
Nice!
Ze germans have you covered. I hope you like meticulously bureaucratic rulesets.
Or a bard
Not really but the player characters in my current campaign plan on sort of ending up like that after the adventures in the campaign end.
The knight wants to give up his inheritance and noble title to become an inquisitor for his deity’s temple. He’ll be hunting demons, witches and heretics. Basically what they often did during the adventures of the campaign.
The priest/magician of the party is joining a cult of a knowledge deity. Whose cult busies itself with learning and spreading knowledge to people. This cult is also the archenemy of the religion he used to be a priest of.
The archer of the party wants to become a merchant in her own right. Her father is a quite wealthy merchant but since she has an half brother she isn’t inheriting much. So she wants to use the wealth she got during the campaign to set up a trade network and become wealthier than her family.
Thanks for reading my blog btw.
Yeah I do it all the time as a GM
No, because we generally don't play games to simulate 'normal life'.
>normal life
But what about 'normal life' in a comfy fantasy village?
Yeah, I still don't come to games for that. What would you even do for a four hour session, just wait for your GM to describe different patrons who come in, drink, then leave?
I come to TTRPGs for adventure, not to stick my thumb up my ass behind a bar counter.
I;m talking you and the party making relationships with various townsfolk, getting in relationships to various townswoman girlfriends, joking and kidding around. Basically a 90s sitcom but in a comfy fantasy setting.
Heroes arriving in town and being heralded as such is not 'living a normal life'.
Exactly
Yes but suddenly -element of game- happens.
I want a tabletop game where I can simulate a normal life in a modern day setting. Just doing regular things. I have no way to interact with the real world so it's still wish fulfillment
If I'm going to live the life of a wage slave I want to at least be paid for it.
I gm'd a dark eye session where my players did nothing but roleplay as cabbage farmers. The crazy thing is the system actually had pretty detailed rules for that
No, I don't play with contrarians who want to do mundane shit in a fantasy game.
