[QUOTE="doghead, post: 3763285, member: 8243"] ooc - LEW Discussion Yeah. After my last post, I thought I should go back and have a look. Its a big improvement. But it still suffers from being a post facto creation. It a bit of a weird blend of highly specific and very vague. For me, working in a shared setting, two features would be key. A map, so I can say OK, in the Bainlunder Hills there is a town here, a river here, etc. A wiki searchable by location, so I can say, OK in the Bainlunder Hills there is a group of people calling themselves the Bainlunders, a tribe of goblins is active in the north, dragons have been spotted, etc. Of course, this all needs to be kept reasonably up to date, so a mechanism for that should, I think, for part of the basic set up of LEW 4E. I haven't decided how I feel about the island/ship idea. It does make things easier - I don't have to work in with anyone else's ideas, I can just create a new island. But in the end, we could end up with everyone making a new island for their own adventures, and LEW degenerating from being a a shared setting to just a shared pool of adventurers. doghead aka thotd [/QUOTE]
