Questions tagged [realm-management]
For questions about "realm management". Many tabletop RPGs have rules that allow the tracking and play of large groups or entities consisting of large groups such as holdings, kingdoms, or guilds. Realm management generally covers the handling of the organizations that surround player characters; while the term "realm" literally refers to a territory ruled by a sovereign entity, such rules can cover the handling of groups at smaller scales as well.
