<snip lots of good ideas

I guess we can make room for a Barbarian Horde :-). It would work well with
the new 2000 sets anyway.

I would say that at the moment we need a little of everything although the only
castle that has been mentioned is the King Leo castle. I suppose if we want to
have more than the one castle someone needs to build it. Like I said I plan on
having about 4 of the 16x32 baseplates with a market setup and it sounds like
Jeff has an excelent Idea for an addition to that with his acting troop. I
also know that Suz said she would like to do some town folk.
The question has also been raised as to whether we should have a walled in city
or an open city. I think the walled in city makes for a nice effect although
the open city is definitely easier. Like I said I have lots of Gray plus quite
a bit of Black and Red regular slope roofing and red low slope roofing.

It would definitly have to be either modular of something where say I used my
gray 2x4 bricks and you supplied the windows and doors and someone else
supplied the plates so that it could be separated easily. I guess what I was
trying to say is we could have a building day because I have lots of Gray
Bricks and we could all make them into a structure of some kind using only my
bricks.
I definitly want to avoind intermingling collections to much because it could
be a real pain to get everyone's bricks back into the right hands.

Like I said I don't have much in the way of figs so this is not up to me. I
will probably have more figs from the 2000 sets than anything by the time we
set up. Again my biggest contribution will be SW figs converted to peasentry.

I have 10 (maybe 11) of the 16x32 tan baseplates along with one in brown. I
like the idea of having a forested area though. Maybe with a hermit hidden in
the forest or a lookout from one of the taller trees.

I can't wait to hear some more feedback as well. I think this could be bigger
than the Star Wars setup by the time we are done. I really think this could be
a great group project.
