here are some questions i've come up with (and my answers) that we can using as a starting place on a project.
if you can think of any more questions, please add them, or if you want explanations of some of my terminology [img]smile.gif[/img] let me know.
DC Collaboration:
1. setting?
2. campaign setting?
3. scope?
4. party size?
5. party level?
6. pc races?
7. npc races?
8. setting magic level?
9. setting religious level?
10. setting government level?
11. setting monty haul level?
12. guilds?
13. secret societies?
14. linear/parallel/open-ended?
15. random combats level?
16. combat level?
17. dc resolution? (640, 800, 1024)
18. default databases? (consider future possibilities)
my answers:
1. fantasy, city near a major waterway
2. original world to be default DC world
3. grand (large)
4. 3 or 4
5. 4 to 6
6. standard d&d 2 ed
7. as above plus anything else
8. common but high
9. common but not invasive
10. monarchy but not invasive
11. low
12. yes; thieves, merchants, mercenaries, …
13. -
14. parallel, with strong ending, but leaving it open for sequels
15. low or non-existent except in special areas i.e. sewers, slums after dark, deep forests
16. as per story, focus should always be on story, not on leveling
17. 640 offers smaller download sizes, but 1024 is prettier
18. no, add more default items and more cursed items, maybe eliminating all +4 and +5
btw, i've got a little story idea going that is more along the line of backdrop, leaving the actual plot open.
