Image doesn't work for me.

The banner or the world map?

[JacenHanLovesLegos]

World map.

Try loading the URL directly. It should load on the page afterwards.

Ack I wondered why the other thread went quiet!  Glad this is running!

Nice map, cool.  I like Iron as the site, though my dwarf might not be.

Adil Tongsletter examines his crossbow, paying little attention to the debate.  He is glad to hear that the location will have forest nearby - He considers purchasing an axe.

We'll hit the shops and character templates soon, don't worry.

Just remember, this is an RPG. Your character can explore, investigate and do other stuff (within reason).

Will there be immigrants for us to control, or do we have to enslave things hire helpers?

[Nirur Torir]

Are airships a possibility? You mentioned steam powered harpoons.

[1]After the founders settle in, there will be periodic caravans for traders, migrants and other expeditions. Player migrants will piggyback on those, along with NPC migrants. The NPCs will be dim, uninspired peasants for the most part. They will find food, drink and bedding, but will otherwise just have parties, unless they get the urge to haul, clean or loot corpses. A good strategy would be for players to grab a handful and get them to assist in the task that they're doing, like hauling away rock while you mine, or drilling a bunch as militia under your command.

They can achieve great things, but most of them aren't the cream of the crop. If one gets very good, a player might get to control them instead of migrating in.

[2]If you manage to conceive the concept, gather enough specialised minds in the related fields, design it, obtain enough top-quality materials and components, and then use it without destroying it... maybe. It would be a monumental undertaking, to be sure.

I'm suddenly reminded of the floating sphere powered by eagles that was spoken of for a brief time in the mermaid bones thread.

The Underclerk says:

Fireblades the Eternal Bastion? If your aim is to annoy every non-dwarf in a hundred miles, that name alone should do it. Do you have any ideas for the name of your group? It might not seem much, but it goes on coins, letterheads, all that official fluff.

The Clerk waits, pen poised to write down the name of the group.

"They can be as annoyed as they want, they won't get past my forest."
"As for our name, well... I don't know about the first part, but perhaps we could affix Okbod Tobul, The Doom of Canyons, to whatever is decided.  I mean that in the most positive way, of course."

[Hastur]

lets name the fort the warhold of the icy winds, its better. As for your name i second The Doom of canyons, that settles it lets get going

[Shade-o]

The Underclerk says:

Maybe you would like a combination? Something like...

Ziriltarmid Alniskegeth Ushilnum, Fireblades, the Warhold of the Icy Winds

It could work...

[Lillipad]

I'm not one of the poor suckers carving the name into coins, so go for it.
