    Not to be a prude, but this sounds like a 'me too'.

    Which that anything official is at least year or more away. Also
    anything that you create can be used in other cities. If you don't want
    to use the info for the imperial city but like part of it then use those
    parts for what ever city you choose.

    This is assuming that everyone chooses the Imperial City...

    Yah; me as well; I didn't get the previous offers of other folks to tally
    votes till this morining (among about 90 messages from the list). I
    withdraw from tallying votes.
    RECOMENDATION: whoever (and I've certainly forgotten) 1st brought up this
    idea should try to coordinate it. I'm certainly more than willing to help
    with time, server space, &tc, but you'r right that someone needs to be "in
    charge"

    Designing a general map will be a toughie, 'cause everyone has their own
    mental image (at least if we're dealing with the ImpCity), and no two
    images will be alike. I, for one, imagine it to be almost entirely
    concentrated on dozens of small to medium islands at the mouth of the
    maesil river, with some outlying islands in the "near" portion of the
    Arinbae (the "princes islands") where the wealthy have estates et al; only
    small suburbs on the coasts of the Maesil (these suburbs will contain the
    shipyards and most "industry" however). Other folks, from the maps I've
    seen, put most of the city on the shore areas, with only a small portion on
    islands.

    Hmmn. . .I agree that the city should be divided up and people given the
    responsibility for co-ordintating the development of various areas; but I
    think that anyone with a good idea for that area (be it a physical
    "quarter" of the city or a intellectual "area" I.E. guild-related,
    temple-related, etc) should be encouraged to put in their contribution
    (doesn't mean that things will automatically be accepted, or accepted
    without modification & suggestions, but still. . .Geniver mentioned
    "cross-polination" of ideas, and that's what will make this fun.)

    That won't happen, so put it out of your mind.

    I want to mainly do the webpage where everything is stored. I don't
    really want to be organising everything for the city as well, just
    placing everything online as part of my current page. However I intend
    on trying to get the ball rolling and set everything up before retiring
    back to my other projects. I will be posting a few taverns, shops and
    that sort of thing from my campaign, a bit like the one I posted a
    little while ago.

    Well, I'd prolly buy a "official" suppliment, anyhow. But I'd love to know
    if anything like a City of Anuire suppliment is even under consideration.
    The answer to that might (or might not) change the minds of people as to
    which city we should develop.

    I, for one, don't consider charts like this (see below) very helpful. While
    we certainly don't want to go wild with super-powerful characters, we
    shouldn't let an (arbitrary, and always ignored in "official" products)
    number limit restrict the inclusion of interesting characters (now, we
    don't want folks bringing in dudes who are only "interesting" because they
    lob fireballs down the street when the whim strikes them or lop the head
    off anyone who "insults" them in a bar, but it doesn't matter if that dude
    is 17th level or 7th level, IMO; he still belongs in prison, not the
    streets of a well-run city.)

    Anyhow, that's enough gabbling from me for a while, I think. . .barring the
    next inundation of 80+ messages on this topic (a quarter of which will be
    mine, sorry in advance).

    There's a picture in The Atlas of Cerilia under the section on the
    Imperial City - it doesn't quite gell with my mental image of the city
    though.

    I think this is an outstanding idea, but I agree that we need to organize
    this a little.

    First and foremost, I'd propose moving the "Online City" to a new mailing
    list or discussion group. There are a number of people on the list who
    really don't want to read 30 or 40 posts a day on this topic.

    Second, I'll check on our current online policies. I don't see any reason
    why you folks shouldn't be able to do anything you want here, but I'd
    better look into it anyway.

    Third, I'll look into our production plans for Birthright. I don't think
    we're planning on an Imperial City supplement soon, but I'll double-check.

    Finally, if everything looks cool with this, I'll be happy to volunteer the
    notes and maps I have about the Imperial City (although it might be a week
    or two before I can get to this).

    Ok it's nice that you people want to do this city but could you take it off the
    list (or at least the bulk of it)? Frankly this project doesn't interest me in
    the least and it's beginning to get on my nerves (35 of these posts in ten
    hours). www.InsideTheWeb.com offers free message boards, why don't you set up
    your own mailing list and message board. You can then set up weekly devolopment
    meetings in someones chat room. Now I don't really expect you all to take this
    compleatly off the list (I'm not stupid) but I do hope my little suggestion
    helps you all and in thanks and consideration of those of us not interested in
    this project you ruduce the number of these posts to the list.
    Now if I somehow offended someone or something (which is not my intent) send
    flames and hate mail directly to me not the list. (Pukje@concentric.net)

    Thanks,

    Jay
