Here's an idea for the initial setup - I think we should use the old 'modular
Castle'-type setup for the walls and towers: the walls being 1 wall piece
high,
connected with Technic pegs at specified heights, with the battlements looking
a certain way - that way the wall will look more 'unified'. The only change
I'd consider making would be the possibility of using green baseplates instead
of green regular plates for the 'ground'. We'd probably also want to
accomodate
people who want to use the different colors of wall sections somehow - I know
I
have a lot fewer lt. grey walls than I would like.
I'm tempted to do a troupe of travelling actors a la the ones in _Rosencrantz
and Guildenstern are Dead_ (or _Hamlet_ I suppose) that have come to visit the
town. Maybe we could go for a sort of 'market day' atmosphere? I'll also
volunteer my LEGO sheep and perhaps I'll try to make a LEGO cow now that I have
some horns to put on it...
