Tip for new #dnd DMs creating their first town: Design it to be useful in play and to your players, not as an entry in your world's fictional atlas. It will still be interesting and flavorful, but in service to having fun at the table. I will explain. Matt Colville (whom I hold in high esteem as a #dnd evangelist) released a video recently to inspire new DMs to build their first town. It does provide a lot of detail, but it's not really detail that D&D adventurers wouldl have (or should have) much interest in.
