OK you lot you've had a week to think about this so lets get down to some business. 1. Id like to know the names and e-mail addresses of all those interested in contributing to this project. 2. Need somewhere were all the relevent info/files can be stored for easy access to all ie FTP site /www thing. Any suggestions. 3. A quick outline on what how I intend this to go : firstly we'll say the city has a population of 25,000 (to start with) this will probably increase later though, but for now it gives us somewhere to start. The location is one a river with access to the sea (very close). It is a Freecity (ie self ruled). Magic is allowed as are all races and professions with a few exceptions, also religion is present in the city its part is as yet to be decided though. As a rough guide to the city inhabitants ill use C1 city generator to give us some numbers using 100% for all the random bits this way well get an average figure for each area. (ill work out the numbers and post them here later) 4. All articles will be required in a set format (to be agreed by all) ill post a suggestion about this soon and well work from there. 5. The city layout as yet thier isnt one I suggest we start with a central building (ie a castle/palace/keep) then build up around that as and when. 6. Please only submit positive/constructive ideas im not really into reading lots of negative comments from people who havent got anything better to offer, however if you think something is really wrong or totally out of place then let me know, but please no more arguments over how big the cities going to be, lets just let it grow as we build it and see how big it gets. 7. Although some people dont want to know exactly who lives where, ie their not bothered that that tower over thier has 3 wizards and a dead dog in it, some people like detail down to how many hit points the cleaning lady has after all its less work for the stressed out GM to decide upon so Id rather put that level of detail in, then those that dont want it can just ignore it and them that like it can use it. Id like to get all the detail into this that everyone wants (within reason) 8. Some more ideas and details to follow soon so start thinking on what YOU want from a detailed city description. ------------------------------- ------- >> Paul Owen << ------- firedrake@CIX.compulink.co.uk -------------------------------
