[QUOTE="Darraketh, post: 27341, member: 847"] [b]Just a thought.[/b] The "Stronghold" is a physical structure so I am assuming that we [i]want[/i] to have the entire thing mapped out. With that in mind we could build it in pieces. [b]Room[/b] - What's it called? [b]Purpose[/b] - What's this room for? [b]Significance[/b] - Is it a particularly important from an PC standpoint. i.e. Adventure hooks; infiltrate the Dwarven Stronghold to recover object X, wrongly accused and escaping from Dwarven Stronghold, etc. Is it critical to the functioning of the stronghold or does it just mean a lot to the dwarves? [b]Physical Description[/] - Where's the door? What's in here? etc. [b]Occupants[/b] - Who's in here, when and why? For a stronghold of 50-75,000 there will be a lot of rooms. A good bit of the final document will consist of such descriptions. --------------------------- [b]We need an outline.[/b] Introduction - The why and wherefore of the project. Ch. 1 Social Structure, Clans Ch. 2 Religion Ch. 3 Economics Ch. 4 Military Ch. 5 Imporant Persons profiles Ch. 6 The Stronghold (physical description & maps) Ch. 7 History Ch. 8 PrCs, monster stats, artifacts The order is insignificant at this point but the division is significant. So what I wrote above re. rooms would come under chapter 6. A structure of this sort would help the project. --------------------------- One last sugestion. We need a name for the Stronghold. If you start a "Name the Dwarven Stronghold" thread in the General Discussion Forum [u]with a link to this thread[/u] you would generate additional interest and possibly more contributors. Personally I have a suggestion but that would be unfair due to my proven Dwarven naming prowess.;) lol[/b] [/QUOTE]
