One thing that I like about the MERP system is that there are so many books out there dealing with specific regions. Included in these are maps of the region including cities etc with places like shops, inns etc labeled. The WoT RPG maps really only provide decoration as the most you can usually tell about them is that that big building in the centre there is probably the pallace. Even that doesn't tell you much because you don't know what is inside.

What I think would be good would be if we could get things like this put together with maps with inns marked out and named and where the shops are and what they sell. Some nobles houses marked out with a individual map for them as well as for the royal pallace would be great.

What do you think?

I think it'd be great to have books like that. Personally. I would help out as much as I can with everything except mapmaking, since I am no kind of good at that.

If you want to help out with that...you all should so go and work on the project in Ghealdan. Shadoweve? Do I remember correctly?

I love the idea, its such a wonderful way to supliment the story. I've been running a campaign for almost exactly a year now set early in 998NE, I have so much random information that I've compliled in my notes for my game. Eventually I plan to post it on my site but any part of which may prove useful I will alway contribute. But I think if somebody wants to start new rather than just compile (which does have its own merrit) you should talk to Aleshandre.

Yep, Shadow eve was supposed to be the start point for a series of regionally based adventure hooks built in microcosom form (one place at a time to build a villiage/town/city, then compiling those to form regional settings, etc.). I have placed the TotP low on my priority list due to lack of contributions, school, looking for a new job, creating a new Modern/Future setting and revamping several of my webpages. I will; however, increase its position on my priority list if I start getting contributions.
