I gess a couple of my points got buried in the first part of the post....I
didn't know if I would lose context by editing my comments and kyle's ideas...
My point in brief:
I propose that each CW balladeer have an "embassy", a signature structure
just like each realm has a signature figure. I am not talking a Gregor
Tower or Aquazone Cathedral, more like a small tavern, inn, shop, temple,
dojo, pagoda, etc. Each structure could host a portal to an individual's
realm or serve as an ambassador's residence. All of these structures would
theoretically exist in the same place. The idea is that this is some sort
of major port or trade city (a de-militarized zone) No armies could exist
here, but plenty of mystery, skullduggery and carousing. This would allow
minions, friends, and representatives of Mephisto, Scar, Verneer, et al. to
interact with residents of other realms and times. These together would
form a virtual Capitol city. This Capitol city could be the origin of
seperate side stories or collaborative efforts.
If people w/ digicams could all photograph their structure against a white
backrond or some such thing, a photoshop master could probably work some
magic with backrounds.
Due to the customization of many figs or rarity of some parts, it would
hard to recreate a Mephisto but easy to recreate a lesser minion.
Let me know if this makes more sense...
John
The origin of my comments, Kyles, Matt Brooks and others arose outta of
Kyle's idea to "host" a city+structures for others who lack time or
resources... an interesting option. My contribution was much more limited
in scope.
