Town Buildings List

[Stuart Shaw]

Great start Green-Pilgrim ... here is a list of Medieval Occupations I have compiled ... not sure if it is 100% accurate in terms of the commonality of the occupations as it is only based on my own assumptions. But this would help in terms of building regularity (i.e. number of buildings per occupation per city) .

Awesome List!

This a great list. Very extensive. Any ideas whether D&D 4E included a dice table to random roll occupations?

I can't seem to open up the attachment is there a way that you can possibly email me that list?

There's a great book for info on building towns and cities within a magical medieval setting called
"Magical Medieval Society Western Europe" from Expeditious Retreat Press which is well worth taking a look at.
It has content and tables associated with mapping towns and cities to areas of land, as well as identifying what wards would be present in population centers of different sizes. There are also frequency charts of a particular type of workplace being found in a given ward of a particular type.
If you're interested in that sort of thing, I would definitely look this book up.
That aside, here's a list of workshops, shops and offices that they came up with.
