Online City

[Wrb41977]

An interesting discussion came up on the FR List about creating and populating
an online city. I was wondering if anyone was thinking of doing the same for
Cerilia? Would it not be interesting to get our own small city to build and
divide up as we wished?

Hello, everyone. I'm new to the list :)

How about the Imperial City? Or is that by chance the city you've been
spending
so much time talking about?

The Free City of Ilien might be another good choice.

Actually... I'd like to do the City of Anuire and a made city. Both could
be intriguing.

Bah. Ilien is Mine! Mine I tell you, and you won't be getting it off me!

How about somewhere in Mieres - it's out of the way enough not to
disrupt too many people's campaigns.

Last night I dreamed that the Teletubbies had to rescue Po from the
Gorgon. True story. :)

How about a city along the Sun Coast?
Turin, Mesire or Djafra are very cosmopolitan and could be created by
committee. Should we leave the Imperial City inviolate, waiting for an
official product, or should we go whole hog and do the city, never to buy the
future supplement (if any)?

Can someone outline for me [in private mail] what the concept of the
Online City is. I must have missed the nucleus of this idea. I am very
interested, and, of course, would be willing to participate as anything
from the lowest street illusionist to the Chamberlain himself. Let me
know what it is about, and I'll start figuring out how I can contribute.

I think the idea is that we spend some time and group effort being City
Planners and Historians and work out the details of a city that we can all
use in our individual games. We'd come up with "blueprints" of the city,
including streets, suburbs, sewers (anachronistic? but...but... ya Gotta'
have sewers!) and important civic institutions like temples, markets,
taverns, inns, caravanserai, shops, etc. Together with cultural notes and
anecdotal history. At least, that was my interpretation, and I thought it
was a pretty good idea, and I would be excited to contribute to this kind
of a project. But it is also possible that I misinterpreted. Others?

Boy, I'd LOVE to see something like this.

That's pretty much how I saw it, but we'd want to have something pretty
cosmopolitan, without being a random melange of stuff.

Also I suppose we'd need some way of governing the levels of characters
within the city - no more than one 10th level plus character per
contributor or something.

I'd like it to be a somewhat far-out place, so we have a little
latitude for invention. I've got a nifty idea for a society of rats
living within the city (included a blooded caliph) that could be kind of
fun - adventures where the players get shrunk down to the size of rats &
adventure with swashbuckling pirate rats on their sewer barges & stuff.

This is an awesome idea... I would like to create a hedge wizard...
I believe that they are merchants of magical wares...
Someone lemme know if I am wrong...

Did we ever decide what city to use? I heard Mieres as a possible
location, here's mine: how about Blackgate, capitol of Danigau? It's high
ranking enough to be a good sized city (level 5 province), Brechtur is
fairly cosmopoliton anyway, and it is near several other cultures: dwarves,
Rjurik, and goblins. This could be the perfect spot.
