I've been talking about this on the Discord of course, but I am very much looking forward to this! Got a character in mind already, hopefully I'll be able to participate as a PC but if not I'll definitely NPC it up with you guys~

Another one to NPC here! :-P Usually I PC but doubt I'll have the time now, so this will be a cool new experience.

And Miss Markovic is whispering in my ear that teachers are awesome, but I'm hissing back at her that Wrighton is not home, and I dislike the idea of short term teaching stints... You could always pull a Pokemon and have Miss Markovic's niece's cousin's sister-in-law who has the exact same appearance, name, and profession as her be a native of Wrighton.

You could always pull a Pokemon and have Miss Markovic's niece's cousin's sister-in-law who has the exact same appearance, name, and profession as her be a native of Wrighton. Two main reasons this thought hasn't entered my mind previously: 1/ I don't understand Pokémon (please, no, don't hold it against me *cries for mercy*) 2/ If my character were to be a Wrighton native, I believe that would make me a PC and I want to NPC Also, I'd actually like to give the teacher thing a break - it was tons of fun, and I'd do it again in a heartbeat, but I want to be a more versatile writer than that... Not that I think it was particularly non-versatile to write a class of 19 students and their teacher/s, but I did want to try and turn my hand to something else this time. Apologies to those who liked the kids! (Well, maybe apologies, I could yet end up writing a child xP)

Character is the only thing I'm sort of stumped at right now... I have a few small quirky ideas, but nothing that really go together or I can flesh out yet... Hmm *thinks*

=3 Still excited for this, and trying very hard not to get too carried away with character ideas in case I don't make it in as a PC, lol. Curse my wonky schedule that means I'm asleep when 99% of people on the forum are awake!

Character ideas have slowed down for me a bit due to working on other stuff (and also because I'm a terrible scatterbrain), but I've still been mulling on this one idea, and I think I've pinned down something of a motivation and personality for her!

In the interests of preserving the... well, interest, and to show that I haven't gone completely durr on that whole business with a map, here, have a sneak peek. The trouble is mainly that instead of doing the reasonable thing and drawing a bunch of boxes with labels, I went the ambitious route. Will probably lose my mind once I need to figure out traffic signs (spoiler: I probably won't do traffic signs, because ain't nobody got time for that.) As you can see, the bottom and left is mostly houses, the top-left is MORE BORING HOUSES AUGH, and once I got to the right-hand side, I got clever and started filling up bigger blocks of space with bigger buildings because every town needs an oversized imposing cathedral in which to have a final battle. While the thing isn't fully solidified yet, everyone is welcome to add ideas for buildings/facilities/landmarks of the sort that can't be randomly assigned to random blocky houses. I was halfway through before I realized that there needs to be a marketplace.

This imposing cathedral had better have a clocktower! xP Exciting clocktower showdowns are A Thing, now, as of the past two games (well, one game and a backstory, but still. And Medieval is huge, there must be one in there somewhere too.)

Oh wow, look at all that perspective, you really are going all the way with this =o
And yuss, cathedral, I was hoping for one for character reasons x) I personally don't have any other fancy building needs, but I have heard some talk about wanting a library if you think that deserves a non-rectangle building x)

Will there be a library? Or some sort of park? I would add more, but I have no other ideas at the moment.

There sure as heck will be a library; a town without a library is just a clump of houses with delusions of grandeur. *lives in a country where every self-respecting hole in the ground has a library, so I have Views* xD I think I have about three or four parks peppered throughout the map, one of which is part of the college campus. It'd probably be easier to get a grasp of the scenery if I colored it, but we'll want to get this thing started sometime this year, so probably won't happen.

Sweet, that works amazingly with my character.

My character as planned will honestly, be happy with pretty much alllll the things. =) She just wants to see the sights! Though a tacky clothing shop would be A++, if you going for any kind of modern time period here.
