i like it atrumentis. the only problom i have with it is the main gate.
"hmmm, heres a big ass gate in the middle of the road thats locked. oh wait, i can just walk around it" lol. but im sure you ment to put a wall around the city.

It's the decisions you make when you have no time to make them that define who you are.
I think the actual comic and associated picture/s need to be in a seperate thread, and the discussion of said comic take place in this one, It’s gonna suck going through 200 pages to find 5 posts that contain the actual comics.
20 pages in this thread so far and we have 1 map and episode 1. Hardly seems right. I can always lock it like I did with the novel thread, and just update it as the new episodes roll out.
Awesome map. And err.. Forest has 1 r in it, not two. And could you blown it up maybe by 50%, the wording on “tavern” is hard to make out. I could have sworn the town was more a of a Delta hub type thing. You have to pass through it to go East, West, South or North. Being located at a cross roads, enables us to impose tolls. Thus the cities economy stays strong, especially if the town is located along a major highway, say the main one leading North to Sessheron. Also if you could throw in a few more churches and/or temples. I did have one idea for perhaps the main church or temple, if you take the Notre Dame cathedral, and “chop” it in half, “clone” the Bell towers end, and stick them the two ends together back-2-back so you have 2 towers at each end, for a total of 4. That might make a very impressive looking cathedral for worship. One I would definitely go to were it real. The interior of course would be filled with murals and mosaics. The official name of Darkjay’s tavern is the new Tavern of the Rising Sun. He bought the rights to the name “Tavern of the Rising Sun” from Ogden, who owned the first one. Well not really bought as Ogden is assumed dead, so he merely took the name upon his death to carry on his legacy so to speak.
lol, yeah, the Tavern on the map I imagined to be the size of the Tavern in Tristram, which also has two floors.
A little larger than that but that is workable.
I'm gonna have to re-do this map, aren't I? The proportions all seem wrong.
Maybe I could just make the Town Square smaller?
Eventually yes, I imagine you will have to add in other buildings of interest. More libraries and archives, public forums, “senate” buildings, guild houses, barracks’, possibly other taverns, workshops possible artistic ones to emulate the sig shops, etc. Generally speaking, a town or city is divided into districts or sometimes they are called Prefectures. Most notable are your Temple District (Full of Churches and Temple), your Government District (Full of Senate or Council buildings), your slum district (poor people), your “Patrician” district (rich people), your docks district, and depending on the city, what is known as the “old” district, usually what the town once was, such as London’s Inner or Old City. Here is an old concept for the Citadel. Or at least it gives a possible look for the wall and fortifications of the city.

Where are the SICK lounge, court etc etc though?
Why's it gotta be based on a clan? I thought it was based on the forums. o.O
It is forum based. But as the guild is present on the forums it makes sense for it to be present in the comic too. Certain threads, most notably the tavern should definitely make appearances. One or two Guild related threads could also be present, such as the Lounge or Discussion court, though I imagine their comic versions might have different names.
SICK is a religious guild, and at these times church and state are the same thing. ANd also given the nature of SICK, they are surely one to run a town (and protect it with their citadel and future city walls). But you don't have to actually join it. ITs just the nature of the guild. THey are kind of like the Zakarum.
That is correct. A religious Order, though not all residents of the town are members, just like not everyone at the forums here is a member. Long story short, comic is forum based, but as SICK is based in/on this forum, expect SICK to make an appearance in some form or another. But the comic IS NOT limited to SICK. Heck the guy making these comics isn't even in SICK (yet).

Atrumentis can easily edit the first page and add it there...?

That was a reference to the ruling body of SICK. Which seem to be the ruling body of the town.
It is also a nod to the fact many a mod here are persons of the people, for the people, by the people.

Oh, okay. And I just wasted a large chunk of my life making a picture, with some taverns, a small church, a citadel, and some other things, my vision of what you guys described, from various pictures. Took forever, I had to create a lot of roofs from like 5x5 pixels lol. In any case, behold the glory of Paint! I tried to give it an old painting look with some tuning in Picasa, lol.
Gods I wanna tell you all all about it. Just trust me and Zubin when we say it looks AWSOME.
Indeed, as the one I guess who you could say owns the rights to SICK and any and all related projects, I have to agree. A very awesome picture.
I love towns like that, I so want to live in one.

Give, expecting nothing thereof. ------------ BoD - Come have some fun! Folks will always come and go, so enjoy them while they're meant to be in your life.
I try, I try Thank you very much. Sorry, this post was off topic, hehe. You'd probably laugh your head off if you saw the first stages...
This is all very interesting, though. I can't wait to see more comics, and a larger or more complete map, I love maps. It's really cool seeing the forums, which is basically just words, displayed as a real place in an imaginative and realistic (Fictionally realistic. Yes, I know, that's an oxymoron, but you guys get my point ) way.

A bunch of us do Role Play here. So the concept is not a stretch. And many of us enjoy cartography (making maps), so any combination of the two is just gravy.
Also it is fun to see how the world views you, as opposed to how you see yourself. This is something I am really looking forward to seeing come across in the comics. How Atrumentis copies over our personality, quirks, and traits.
Would be fun to read the comments on the comic and see "Dude you totally nailed me! That was sooo me."

I never got in to RPGs on forums, I've only ever done them in video game format, lol. I looked at it once, but I don't have a creative mind like that, hehe.
Yet here you are a member of SICK, a guild well know for Role Playing, both ingame and onforum.

I could have sworn the town was more a of a Delta hub type thing. You have to pass through it to go East, West, South or North. Being located at a cross roads, enables us to impose tolls. Thus the cities economy stays strong, especially if the town is located along a major highway, say the main one leading North to Sessheron.
