Supplement: Planning Fairhaven with Beak, Feather + Bone

As described in Fairhaven Planning & Zoning, the Referee and Hosts collaborate to map their own Fairhaven.

Going around the table, everyone takes a turn to add a location to the town until everyone feels there are enough locations described on the map.

Now, here's how Beak, Feather + Bone comes into this collaborative process: on their turn, each person draws a card from a standard playing card deck. The card works as a prompt for the location they will describe. The prompt is set by the suit and value of the card.

First, the suit of the card winnows a location into one of four categories:

SUITS

♡ SOCIAL / COMFORT - A seat of culture, identity, interaction, mingling, or association. A third place other than work or home. People commune, relax, or just have fun.
♢ COMMERCE / UTILITY - A business, where people exchange cold hard cash for labor, services, or goods. This is where work gets done.
♠ PAST / LANDMARK - A history haunts the present to stir pride, evoke dread, or spark some kind of sentiment. A monument firmly fixed in local lore, useful for orientation.
♣ FUTURE / SHADOWS - An anticipated function or new development lurks. Here, tall fences contain big expectations (or vast unknowns.)

(e.g. Greg draws a Five of Diamonds, so he imagines a restaurant where patrons scarf down mediocre meals. Nobody really loiters or lingers, here.)

Next, the player uses the value on the card to consider the how well-known the place is:

VALUES

Drawing a TWO (2) means this place is an area of least renown. Even the most steadfast townies might not know about it.
Drawing a TEN (10) means this place is probably famous or infamous beyond the City limits of Fairhaven.
The values betwixt TWO (2) and TEN (10) are shades of grey; the likelihood of rumors or general knowledge about a place rises with the value of the card.

(e.g. Greg's Five of Diamonds means this restaurant is pretty average. Most people in Fairhaven know where it is, and many people have been there at least once. There's nothing particularly special about it. It's where people hurriedly lunch during their workday, or single people stop on their way home to grab a cheap, quick bite to eat. There are only two beers on draft. A short order cook pushes around thawed proteins and over-processed potatoes on a greasy griddle. Greg calls this place "Patty Shack" and the name sticks.)

Aces and face cards are handled differently, however. They represent a resident, personality, or group linked with a place. The resident, personality, or group is more defining of the place than the place itself. Here's how:

JOKER - The underground; this person or organization is incredibly secretive. Little to nothing is known of them.
ACE - Skillz, this person has'em. Maybe they can do you a favor. Maybe not.
JACK - A living legend, sometimes thought of as "the local color." There's something "distinctly Fairhaven" about this person and most residents know their story.
QUEEN - A celebrity; this person's status can range from someone whose star is on the rise all the way to a washed-up, D-lister.
KING - A powerful person of means and influence. Do not get on their bad side.

These residents, personalities, or groups only need thumbnail descriptions. Give each one a Reputation, Appearance, and Motivation as call-on traits to use during play.

(e.g. Let's say Greg drew a Jack of Diamonds instead of a Five of Diamonds. Established in 1994, Pádraic's Caddyshack was named after owner Pádraic Ó Duinn's favorite movie. Pádraic had emigrated from Northern Ireland to the U.S. in order to work as a golf pro, but a freak injury on the links resulted in an undisclosed settlement and enough money to start his own restaurant. People shortened the name to "Paddy's 'Shack", then just "Patty Shack". Not one to argue with paying customers, Pádraic went along with the name change, accepting it as just another disappointment. Fairhaven knows Pádraic as incredibly unlucky, but as pleasantly resigned to his bad luck. His tall, athletic build marks him as much as his pronounced limp. Pádraic always finds new ways to cut corners; he's a bit of a skinflint.)

THE BIG QUESTIONS

Ok, based on a random card pull, you've got an idea of the broad category of a place and its relative anonymity, notoriety, repute, etc.

Next, you're gonna flesh out the description a wee bit. Not too much, because this world-building cannot be bogged down by garrulous blather and because someone else is waiting for their turn. You're gonna answer three questions, then your turn is done:

BEAK - Like chirruping chicks, what do people say about this place? (e.g. "Patty Shack? The burgers are ok, but their fries are to die for.")
FEATHER - Like distinctive plumage, how would people describe this place to a stranger so they could identify it? (e.g. "It's a run-down, red brick store front with squinty little windows, but the owner just refurbished its vintage neon sign of a cartoon Leprechaun drinking from a paper bag. Can't miss it.")
BONE - Like a skeleton shaping its essential form, why is this place on the map and what mysteries might it contain? What happens within? (e.g. "Animal Control says they never have any call-outs within a half-mile of the back door of the restaurant, and the burgers do taste a bit off.")

Listen attentively. Take notes. On a player's turn, they may ask other players for input. Free-for-all comments and suggestions from other players should be reserved for the end of the current player's turn. On their turn, the player is the ultimate adjudicator over their location's description.
