Idea for a campaign:
A group of Castlers could get together and use LUGNET to post back and forth
what the object of a campaign is. Then, they could "buy" the materials etc
from the marketplace to go on the campaign.
They would have to figure out what the campaign is for: Conquer new land,
find gold, etc. I thought that if it was an adventure campaign, the idea
would be to collect richs etc. if it was a counqering campaign, then you
would have to collect wood and other stuff. then, you could "bring it back"
and sell it at the MM.
ROAD-BLOCK!
im debating how a campaign would work.
How could the campaign members gather what they set out to get? how would
they be able to map the terrain they are going over?
Im currently working on that. any suggestions would be great!

That is, if anybody likes the  basic campaign idea....

Hey Aramir,
love to see people thinking about projects and ideas for the community.

First of all, are you aware of the Isle of Mist, a castle community concept
wherein different people from different worlds would send expeditions to a
mysterious Isle of Mist that held some unspecified secret.  It was a cool idea
that attracted alot of people, but eventually died because the moderators had
other things to do (real life, etc).

But I think any new group role play, like your Campaign, should definately look
at IOM as inspiration and a lesson.

I think the essence of any real concept of a Campaign is how it would work.  A
great concept, but the "how" of it is a make or break.

From what I've seen of Lego RPG games (and most interactive rpg) is the
relative *lack* of combat.  In IOM, combat was expressly forbidden unless both
players agreed, which seems to me to be kinda un-like what combat actually
means... but then again, it would be unfair is one guy with a big army killed
everyone off... also in the new space rpg, Starship, combat doesn't seem
super-likely.

My Point= keep thinking about this idea, especially the "how"s of it, and I
betcha it will spark more interest.

(...) Ineed. IOM was a good concept and an inspiration to games like Starship (as indicated on the Starship background page (URL) would be interesting to see what gaming possibilities there are in Castle.

(...) Good idea, Aaron! i would say lower class houses would be probably the same size as shops... perhaps a bit bigger. and upper middle class houses would be larger than that. dunno how much bigger; not alot, probably. Yeah, i agree with you about (...) (23 years ago, 21-Jan-03, to lugnet.castle)
