… or, as a Dungeons & Dragons campaign!
The Dyer Art Room Addition campaign takes place in the city of Eureka, where the players are members of the Historic Preservation Commission. They have been tasked with reviewing and approving a proposal to construct a 70-square-foot addition to a historic single-family home located at 805 N Street. The addition is intended to be used as an art room by the property owner, Bert Dyer.
As members of the Commission, the players must hold a public hearing to gather input from the community and make a decision on whether to approve the project. They will need to consider the property’s status as a listed historic place, the proposed materials for the addition, and the potential impact on the overall character of the home and streetscape.
During the public hearing, the players will hear from various NPCs, including Bert Dyer, who will present his case for why the addition is necessary for his art activities. They will also hear from local residents who may have concerns about the project and its impact on the historic nature of the neighborhood.
As the players investigate the project further, they may uncover hidden agendas or conflicts of interest among the NPCs involved. They may have to navigate political pressures and personal relationships to reach a decision that is in the best interest of preserving the historic integrity of the property while allowing for modern uses.
If the players choose to approve the addition with conditions, they may need to oversee the construction process and ensure that the work is done in accordance with the approved plans and guidelines for historic preservation. They may also have to deal with complications or unexpected events that arise during the construction phase.
Overall, the Dyer Art Room Addition campaign challenges the players to balance the competing interests of preservation and progress, and to make difficult decisions that will shape the future of the city’s historic district. It offers opportunities for role-playing, investigation, and decision-making as the players navigate the complex world of historic preservation and urban planning.
