I'm noticing kraks (pun intended) in some of the hub layout that might be unconciously motivating the behavior of some players ig, as the heart and soul of Ephia's Well appears to be the Krak de Roses (primarily due to the presence of job-boards, I imagine).
My suggestions are as follows:
1. Put a respawn point in Elossi's Lounge, or have a new tavern/inn open up for people -not- keen on the Krak as a place of rest (but not necessarily in 'refugee from the wastes' status either). Actually, just put more respawn points in general around the module (especially settlements please!).
2. Put some more job boards around Ephia's Well; I fear many pcs/concepts will be compromised on the fear of being severed from adventuring/basic activities (And yes, I'm aware Qadir has one; it's besides the point for lawful citizens).
3. Make Owain the Caesar to Efu's Planet of Apes. You know you want this...
I think having a non-Krak spawn point would be good, it'd be a bit awkward for someone to spawn into the Krak if they were banned from there and have to hastily explain what they were doing sleeping on the bunks...!
However, I think the only job boards in Ephia's Well should be in the Krak so that there's an actual reason for non-rose PCs to engage with the rose, I feel if Ephia's Well can get everything they can get in the rose elsewhere, then they become a bit superfluous as a faction...
There definitely needs to be a job board elsewhere in Ephia's Well. Otherwise, if you are, say, a Janissary who is banned from the Krak due to interesting inter-faction conflict, you might well find yourself unable to quest at all without leaving Ephia's Well - you can't go to the Creep without a DM.
Perhaps the Janissary lobby near the bounty board or even the Palatial Pyramid itself, IMO.
We aren't adding another job board to Ephia's Well, sorry
