Good points here Kyle and I'm not sure if some folks will ever wish to part
with their figs CW or no CW. (although if anyone is interested in talking
about possibilities let me know).

I too have been developing a rough sketch of a map (on STONEAGE PAPER with a
pencil of all things!!!) I imagine that I could use that as the end of my
spoke from the CW capital city portal. As for the central world I think that
would be a great place for all the folks who use the "singular" force approach
to place themselves and fight versus or align with other people at the center
of the unified CW realm. Each could design their own state, country, or area
within greater CW and the main CW map would just have to be updated
periodically by someone (the benevolent god or gods of CW). As new people
would like to add areas to the map they'll just have to realize that these new
areas will be added to the outside of the current map in the unexplored wilds.

Thank goodness for LUGNET. Before that I thought I was some strange guy who
still liked Legos. Now I know that there are more out there like me and a
term for those of us who refuse to completely grow up AFOL!!!!

This sounds great! Let me know how it is developing. I've just started to
take digital pictures of my stuff and I'm trying to master how to make them
look right (what kinda light, flash or no flash, backgrounds to use, etc...)
This is much more complicated then I thought from looking at other people's
websites. Now I can appreciate them much more.
