[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 6202255, member: 1210"] I'm in the early stages of updating a city in my campaign world to be the launch point of our group's next party at first level (the current 4e game is about 22nd to 23rd level at the moment, rising fast). The city was the site of a large section of the campaign a few years ago- the group at the time (different from my current group due to having moved, but still with some overlap) withstood a five-year siege in the city. The new group will be coming in about 30 or 40 years later (current projection is 33, but it's early yet, I may change that). So I already have a decent idea of the city's layout, culture, resources, surroundings, etc to build off of. One thing I love is making use of my old notes; in this case, I have a nearby megadungeon that never got fleshed out, as well as close by dwarves and orcs who share control over a gorge within which the dwarves have secret mines of firestone (coal). The gorge contains a dungeon that the pcs explored 33(ish) years ago, so I can repopulate, collapse, expand or empty that and reuse it. I've worked out some of the politics in my head and gotten a few notes down about the continuing tension between the military and the civilian authorities; I have notes about the city's gangs from 33 years ago, so I need to update them and figure out how the gangs have evolved and whether old ones have died and new ones have risen. I do want to draw a more complete city map. My players generally agree that an urban campaign sounds fun, so I need to ensure that I can keep locations and so forth consistent. I'm also working on notes about each of the races. Here, for example, is what I wrote about dwarves: [sblock][/sblock] [/QUOTE]
