Rotunda Revamping

[Meh]

My point was not for others to purchase a book, just saying if ya want Ideas for laws of the land, to know how the "real" waterdeep works, that would be a place to go look since it is the real book, and since D&D books are not law set books and you can have your own freedom to pick and choose it would just be a good way to dicide what is allowed and what is not.. Averials have wings and are welcome in Waterdeep, so are civilized Orcs, and even types of trolls evil or not..

Maybe im regressing but have not been around to respond, I did not assume everyone should run out a buy a book, that would be stupid. BUt for the person that is running a place know as WaterDeep, I do not see why they do not get ideas from the setting itself.

The CRT runs alot of its rules off the setting guides no? The technology thing, magic, even not allowing one type of drow to surface. Why can this one not be similar, again I did not say, 'Everyone get a book and read the rules and lets go from there."

Sorry, I thought this was my Suggestion, I guess I could be mistaken. I could quote the races allowed in WaterDeep I guess, so I will and let you dicide.

Population of Waterdeep

--Population is 132,661, within the city walls. Humans make up 64% of the population of this city . Reprisentatives of nearly every race or ethnic group native to Faerun dwell within the city walls. Elves (prodiminately moon elves) and shield dwarves make up 10% each of the population, while lightfoot halflings and half elves make up 5% each, Gnomes at 3%, and half orcs at 2%, are the remaining racial minority found in sizable group.--




This is just a suggestion to a thought of what you should or would have or not, in the city as you create it, within the cities area for temples there is one of each evil depicted deity just about also allowing the right of worship, even Shar. This allow by default might let some rather unsavory races in, though as it states, there is just about every race within the city walls in one way or another.

My suggestion, I hope this is more clear.

Because, Nash wants a middle setting. If you went by the setting rules for Waterdeep, you'd have a setting more technically open than Sigil. YOu have to remember, Faerun is a high magic setting. Anything and everything happens there, let face it Realms has settign book notations of mortals slaying gods. A Waterdeep setting by the books means you can have anything you want. As for you r population notes, please remember, that is Waterdeep Residents, people that actually live there. What flows in and out of the City of Splendors is a vast majority larger.

Yes I know the population can up-to double, that is why I said it was the population, and not the tourist populous, I gave the reference to the numbers for the example of 1-2% of 166,000 is almost 2-4,000 (very loose guestimation assuming there are many there they do not know about.)just saying that there can be a regular occurance of many races, and as it also said, NATIVE not NONE NATIVE, it ment races native to the realm, that means no extra planars no none native outsiders IE demons, devils, celestials, Yugoloths, githyanki, Rakshasa.. the list can go on and on, even powerful undead. But, any race with an int greater then 7 would only be welcome if they were atleast showing respectible intent at the door.


I would also like to make this note. If you have an establishment that allows rather unsavory characters, this will be a lure to others noting they are welcome, not openly evil, but I am sure there are man [***** are not welcome] around many places of this city.

As I said, I have given races already within the walls, and there I have seen as a Lord of Waterdeep and a long term Waterhavian, is a HalfDrow, along with a Resident Vampire Lord that is toloerated. I believe Sigil is more open, if you read what I said, there is a huge difference between native, and none native races to the realm, I did not welcome hells gate, but that does not mean it will not be opened everynow and again.


Again just a suggestion, I did not down any of yours as its not my right to.

Yo.

Nobody should need to buy or reference a book in any way to know what the Waterdeep setting here, on this site is all about. The information I intend to write should be enough to get an idea of the city, general populace as well as my own restrictions of what will and will not be allowed. Again, yes FR is a high magic setting, so much so that the gods occasionally walk among the mortal. This does not mean that I'm going to appreciate people Rping gods, avatars, etc. As a matter of fact, even if you were a god, I highly doubt they'd want to advertise the fact.
*sighs*
I digress. I intend to make this the middle setting between Sigil and the CRT for the fantasy rooms. yes, I know how high magic/power the FR setting is by-the-book. This isnt and wont be "by the book" I may borrow things here and there, but everything you'll need for the setting here will be typed up nicely and concisely.

No more arguing over wether this is going to be by the book or not, it aint, period. That is why I'm looking for ideas on middle ground here, what sort of rules from the tavern that Siani has set would you like in an FR and slightly less resrtictive sense? What from the Marketplace and Trelian's rules would you like to see maybe a bit more restrictive?

 

[Meh]

I never said go buy a book, I never said anything like that, I offered that there are already stuff put in place and can be looked at pick and choose.. holy crap. I was not arging about if it was going to be by the book, and that is why I offered suggestions after that,..

Anyhow, open or not I could give a crap, just giving suggestions, I work fine in anysetting, just thought you might enjoy some items of info from the actual setting, we all know the books are 'GUIDES' and not strict setting conditions.

 

[Magi_Nashira]

Actually I was just clearing up the question that seemed to be all over this thread....it wasn't about you or to you, it was to the thread.

 

[Meh]

Yay! Thanks, just been picked at alot.

The most important thing for me is that Jea can wander around with wings out. Aside from this, you ask? I think creatures that aren't humanoid should be viewed with extreme caution / suspicion (though having this rule requires cooperation from the community, of course) but not outright attacked on sight. It seems to me to be both realistic and appropriate, if lacking a tiny bit in practicality. My two pence (sterling).

 

[Skylyne_Moonweave]

I'm actually in favor of the rooftop Garden idea for the Rotunda, as well as there being a room more family oriented for those of us who have characters that are having families. I also believe that putting more non-food commands in the Golem/modron reportoire is also a good idea...and I think they should be more social as well, as they are involved with customer service. Also, maybe a Valkyrie type stand-in for the Pit (and the Hive) is also a suggestion to be considered.

Insofar as setting goes, the restaurant's description and existence should be emphasized since people know it for the gambling, mostly. Perhaps in-thread advertising about the restaurant? Maybe someone planehopping that could advertise at the Tavern and the Bazaar? Again, just some minute suggestions...
