In case folks aren't working on any levels for the Forgotten Realms but would like to...
I'm working on the Silver Marches, so anywhere else in the Forgotten
Realms is up for grabs. I should prioritize this statement a bit,
though.
Top priority: Dalelands, Moonsea, Cormyr, The North, Waterdeep (b/c
it's so huge, I'm considering it as it's own region), Underdark (not
counting Undermountain at Waterdeep)
Medium priority: any of the lands surrounding the above mentioned, top
priority regions, including Undermountain at Waterdeep
Low priority: Maztica, Kara-Tur, Realmspace(?), Zakhara (Arabian)
I would like official resources to be used - modules, accessories,
etc. for either 1e or 2e. Dragon Magazine is quasi-offical, and if
there's a map in it, I'd probably accept that.
Computer games are not official, though I may be able to be swayed on
some of the NWN maps, but not on the old SSI maps.
Scale- this is such a hard thing to define. I would say that most
houses are 1x1, 2x1, 1x2 or 2x2 (either square or 'L' shaped), nobles
or wealthy merchants may live in something bigger, but nothing larger
than 4 cells on a side. I would say that most shops are in the 2x2 to
4x4 range, depending on what they do and if the proprietor lives
there. Government buildings and temples can be just about any size
depending on the context. Castles and keeps are probably at least 4x4.
Use whatever walls you would like, if it's something not in the
default art, just send it along with the finished level. The same
thing goes for backgrounds. (Or if they're on a website, let me know
and I'll download it.)
As for events, that's up to you.
If there are famous or notable
places that you want to label with a text event, that would be nice.
As for events that depend on the databases, I'm still building them
for this project, but they will include everything in the current
databases plus a lot more.
And since I didn't mention it earlier, this can be for any resolution
that you want to work in. When I import the levels, the Global Data
will override the resolution for the level and it will be fine.
If you also wouldn't mind listing what resources you use and whatever
your current level/city is so that others can work on something else.
(I want to know the resource so that I can fill in events later.)
