Thanks Jim It was a good idea to get people to say what might make a difference and moving things forward. The things that seem likely to make a difference to me are having only half participants pre-booking, or as Andrew says ask for expressions of interest only on the wiki and take actual party members at the guild meeting. I guess it is up to GM's individually at this stage. I am planning to run a game next session and will do the "expressions of interest on the wiki with actual sign-ups at the guild meeting" thing. I want a balanced party though so probably will not just take the first 6 people who bowl up. Haven't exactly decided how to manage this choosing dynamic though. We do seem to be having more games go out than in the past on the wiki there are between 9 - 12 adventues out each time it did seem like only 6 or so in the past (maybe some did not have scribe notes). anyway 12 adventures is quite a lot of GM's and players. cheers Hamish -- to unsubscribe notify mailto:dq-request@dq.sf.org.nz -- |

I looked at those items, before and after they were changed. I could see bugger all wrong with them, before the changes. What I saw a lot of was a species of whining and ranting that I thought was ill-advised and lacked any generosity of spirit to original ideas. I wouldn't advise putting the stuff on the wiki again, because in my experience, much tougher stuff has been given out and it was pretty much accepted. By putting the items on the wiki, it was seen as somehow legitimate to flame it. There will always be some dick who takes it upon himself to balance issues that don't warrant it. I expect we all just have to accept the fact that we live in a dick rich environment. Jim.

Yes it is an opinion. But most starting DQ GMs don't consider it as an option at all. I am pleased that you found it interesting Jim.

There are 90 little villages on Jono's new Map in an area the size of greater Auckland I am planning a med level adventure around of one of the outlying ones. Very few of these are detailed on the wiki (that I could see anyway) so, so long as the GM has a feel for culture in Cazala they should be fine (seems to me anyway).

I have already reduced the number of village/hamlets from 300 to around 100. I also bunched up the reminding villages and hamlets closer to their market towns. I have also reduced the amount of farm land they are currently farming to reflect this. Before they had an area being farmed which would need 600 or so villages/hamlets to keep it farmed, and a population of 250,000 people. I understand that Andrew's poll said that people wanted a population of approximately 50,000 to 75,000 + Seagate. I have not checked this outcome so I could be flat out wrong. The population's for the village/hamlets is aimed at around 250-500 people each dot on the map. This puts the population for them at 25,000 to 50,000 people in Duchy of Carzala, with a balance being somewhere around 350 each being a total of 35,000 people. The market towns at approximately 20,000 people (including approximately 4,000 from Brastor, in Arn's Ferry) Seagate is approximately 25,000 people. Approximately 10 ruined villages/hamlets in Carzala. Current totals are approximately: Village/Hamlets: 35,000 Market towns: 15,000 Segate City: 25,000 Brastor people: 5,000 A 1.5 MB jpg map for this can be found at: http://www.dragonquest.org.nz/dqwiki/index.php/Carzala_150_DPI Details being: Population of Market town, Name of Market town, # of villages, Names of villages/hamlets ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------ 1,300 Seacroft 5 = Crabcove, pinefield, Seacroft-on-Sea, Blackwood, Kar’s Landing 2,800 Gugnir’s Hope 9 = Dwarf Hold, Blue Grass, Goblin Hill, Bladesmiths, Telninton, Candlestone Farm, Redtree, Bardsong, Irongate 2,600 Northfield 8 = Hogalton, Bayview, Greenwoods, Eastfield, Copper, Bardview, Silkwood, Blackcrow 2,400 Monck’s Corner 10 / 2 = Highgrain, Bluehill, Dunhill, Hangstone, Evergreen, Saxton, Dune, Foxwood, Goodblood, Whitechapel, Monck’s Abby, Rothmans Abby 2,300 Venture 9 = Whitecross, Lip Ruins, Westcrossing, Thatch, Daggergrove, Twine, Ayl, Castwell, Pikehold, 1,470 Bolton 9 = Sap, Rothdun, Greentreen, Tome Hold, Wilbinton, Aq, Slimtree Southgrove, Scale Point 1,390 Crystal Spring 8 = Finger Bottom, Single Giant, Little Giant, Tall Hobbits, Underhill, Stonecast, Small Hill, Silverrock 1,000 South Gate* 5 = All Tye, Southhold, Dwarf Home, Broken Arrow, Duntow Ruins. 800 Slippery Rock 5 = Blight Ruins, Thok Ruins, Westwind Ruins, Tim’s Ruins, Byson Ruins 4,500 Arn’s Ferry 11 = So So East, Blimb, Southhill, Blackstone, Bryton, Graig’s Farm, Whitecovern, Gwen, Southrest, Su Su, Celadin 25,000 Seagate 11 = Castle Chilton, Tallwood, West Mill, Sea Cove, Eastcommon, Chilton Manor, Good Mill, Harth, Tombhold, Arn’s Inn, Northwicca 1,100 Stoneboro 9 = Tyoun, Goldwist, Hues Farm, Willow, Hylo, East Mine, Mock’s End, Dagger, Springfield Ante Carzala** 7 = New Scarpia, Silver Drake, Gules Bezantz, Blackrum, New Leon di Calatrava, Luck, Schizton * No numbers on the wiki for South Gate. ** No market town for Ante Carzala area.

I am almost entirely uninterested in Carzala, and the shared world of Alusia. I would probably never run a game there, and would never be swayed to do so, as far as I can see. I run good games. Other people do as well. If they want to run the game on the back of a pig's bum, I couldn't give a tinker's. We are interested in good games. Not people playing in the same, imaginary, geography. Ignore everything else except how to make a game that has enough entertainment to capture excitement, and enough structure to provide suspension of disbelief. The rest is so unimportant by comparison that I wonder why anyone even thought of it.

Lovely turn of phrase as usual Jim. Though I just don't agree. I like adventuring where my characters have build up a history and kind of know what's going on - it helps me with suspension of disbelief. One of the challenges is making Alusia consistent enough for this. Still its fine people running games other places too - really I agree that it's all good. I should probably come on a game of yours. That tree one looks interesting, though it is full. Maybe in the future.

We need to set up a community area really to discuss policy points, but... WTF! That's a pretty nazi thing to do to remove the entire Winter Games talk thread like that. Very, very un-wiki dudes. That talk page was a good example of a heated debate which *didn't* go too far. Nowhere was there any ad hominem attacks, nowhere from my memory was there any abuse. If there were single comments that went too far then those should have been summarized or deleted. Check out the wikipedia examples of bad behavior http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Talk_page_guidelines#Behavior_that_is_unacceptable If it was too long or off topic then refactor, edit it or move it. It was getting a bit unreadable, I grant you that. That sort of thing is neccessary. If this stuff doesnt get discussed in public it will just get swept under the carpet and then sometime soon everything will just explode and be unmanageable. We are entitled to free and public debate around DQ if we are going to be democratic about this. I can see why players are getting touchy about this. I can also understand why GMs might be feeling touchy about it. But the whole debate is about balancing games in a multi-GM environment, something which we should be discussing. I would happily listen to why them might be feeling touchy and help them understand the necessity of this process, please feel free to email/skype/call me, or I'm happy to do the same back. This process really is that important to me! I dont mind if after some debate the items are still out there, just that the debate happens. Please, please reinstate the thread.
