    Alright, how about we stear closer to the real SP in ways of history. Sorcerer (aka Tal) was a great prophet and all around bombarded him with questions to the meaning of life and somesuch. Taluntain saw it necessary to take the people who were interested away to a new land, where his teachings would rule, and where others could say their thing about the subject.
    I believe that that is how Tal said the forums happened in some thread or another.
    Also, how about a culture section, or maybe a language of some sort. Not that you would be able to speak the language all the time, but it would add flavour.

    Good idea on the history, but I don't think the language thingie would work.

    Because we will have to learn grammar and such things and everyone will get tired of using it so we will end up using the normal English again. Too much work with a too small reward.

    And if I am going to be a DM, will that mean that I will have to deal with tonnes of people who will speak that language? Yek! But if I have to to be a DM, I will do it.

    Can I suggest we put the maps before the forum?
    Or atleast equal with it.
    Because the maps are needed before anything else can really be done now.
    There's no real point in having a forum before we have the maps.
    I'm not saying that the forums can not be worked on, just get the maps done first.
    And what is this new section thingy?

    By the way, whose working on the forums?

    Morgoth is supposed to be working on the forum, I'll find out what's happening with that when he pays attention to #sorcerers.
    As for new section, that just depends on what people feel like writing about. Feel free to pick a random topic, write something and submit it. Then we can all go over it and nitpick over the errors :D


    News Update:

    The forum shall take desidedly longer, due to the fact the the server doesn't accept PHP or MySQL, meaning that Morgy is gonna have to learn an entirely knew coding language to do it (this been Perl).
    In other words, we get to spam the SP board for a while more :D


    Another News Update:

    Taluntain himself has offered to supply a forum. I've just gotta figure out a bunch of stuff first and volia. More on this exciting new development will be posted as it comes in. :grin:

    FINALLY! I got the rough draft of my map done. As mentioned before, it is in .exe format (for size), requires DirectX 7, 800x600 resolution, 16-bit color, decent video memory. Many parts are still unrefined, the sand looks horrible :( , but otherwise, useable. In the next version, I'll put in labels, too.

    GeoCities won't let me upload .exe files, so I'll have to E-Mail it for now.

    Aik, how long do you expect it to be untill the forums are up. We just need the bare basics to begin with.

    The map is great, I think we should ave this. The only thing I miss is the snow island but now that I am a DM and not my character I really don't care so much anymore.

    Also, I've uploaded the file on one of my websites, here is the link:
    http://www.freewebs.com/umojan/imap.exe

    Remember, you must right-click and choose the "save as..." or something like that.

    But I haven't linked the map from there. Just copy and paste the link I provided you and you should be on your way, I think.

    The islands need to be bigger, much, much bigger. And I don't think a land bridge is such a good idea. Mountains sound good as well.
