Sounds good to me, although quite big for my humble (and tiny) collection ;-)
I think you might have meant 4x4 squares, for a total of 16 baseplates? And
*not* 16x16 for a total of 256 baseplates?
I'm sure that even for the people out there that will need a lot (like Mike
U., Pawel, and their Big Castles...) won't need THAT much... ;-)

Right. Keeping scale with standard measurements is important, and 4 is as
standard as lego sizes get. (How much 1x4 bricks do you have compared to 1x5
bricks? Or 1x10? :)

Awright! So once we get a realm, we decide what's in it? (Did I get this
straight?)

Huh? Didn't get this part...

Have fun! I'm hoping I can keep this weekend storyline-dedicated but it seems
it won't be :-(

Do you mean that you're taking into consideration our requests?

Well, we all know that whatever it is you (and Pawel) are doing is bound to
turn out wonderful!
