    Designing a community

    I've been distracted by many various projects lately, but I want to revisit an old article idea I had regarding the design of communities for D&D games (villages, cities, countries, etc...) Would anyone be interested in drafting something up for everyone else to use? I'll turn it into an article and slap it on the homepage. You can then gain fame, fortune, and an internet high-five.

    The formating was messed up, but you can see what I did with a location called Westlake: http://www.loremaster.org/content.php/252-Westlake

    I keep getting an HTTP 500 Internal Server error when I click on the link . I tried to hunt for the article by searching Loremaster.org on google, but no luck.
    Realmslore is a lot like a fractal: the thinner you slice it the more details you get. This is why there are no absolutes in the Realms.

    Should you find the answer to a Realmslore question, you haven't established the truth of anything. Rather, you've found a way to open a door that was previously closed to you.

    Once you step through that door and have a look around, you'll find a new room with more doors on the other side, waiting for you to figure out how to open them.

    (And people wonder why adventurers go poking around in dungeons!)

    No worries Matt. It's good to be busy, right?
