Baldurs gate and Neverwinter are closer to reality
Most of us have trudged through the catacombs of these games wondering how outrageously large the game designers had made them, no society could create such catacombs and then for them to become lost over time ....
Maybe not so outrageous after all .... Shedding light on the Catacombs of Rome (BBC news) There are more than 40 of them stretching over 170km (105 miles). But, until now, they have never been fully documented, their vast scale only recorded with handmade maps. That is now changing, following a three-year project to create the first fully comprehensive three-dimensional image using laser scanners. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8027650.stm

Re: Baldurs gate and Neverwinter are closer to reality
So when and who is going to produce the first D&D game based on these Catacombs? Can anyone come up with a good title and even plot outline?

Re: Baldurs gate and Neverwinter are closer to reality
I've actually been in a part of them. It's pretty impressive how large scale just one tunnel was. It wasn't wide, you couldn't stand next to each other, but it was high. There must have been at least 10 rows of burial places stacked on top of each other in the walls.

That's cool that you have been, I would love to visit it and the rest of Rome
So tell me JrKASperov, did you think of Baldurs gate or Neverwinter while you where there?
