I might offer my carteographer skills if you ask nicely

Ok. Sounds good enough for me.Don't know any but Lord Tidus may be a map drawer..

Tidus u want a but seriously I don't have money

edit: I fixed the spelling, I was on my phone

Well..I am the IB Timeline's Master Cartographer.

Yes Man PM me what you need and I'd be glad to help you out. I'd be happy to show you some of my work if so desired.

Hey can you PM me links to some of your work...?

If you don't mind, Tidus, I would be interested in seeing some of your maps as well. I dabble in some amateur cartography of my own, and am always interested in learning from others' work. Do you hand draw yours, or do you use a mapping software?

I'd love to see them to, just out of curiosity. Although I might require yer services at some point in the future.

If you use actual software your more than likely gonna blow my work waaaaaay out of the water. My maps are done in paint
I'll just post a few here since I've got a few interested.

Ah yes, I remember seeing your Imperial City map a while ago. It really is very excellent.

It needs to be redone to be made more lore accurate.

That hand drawn map is the perfect style, but if you don't have the time for it then I'd prefer the style of the City of Sentinel or The Kingdom of Alcare. Again, I sadly don't have money...

I'd never dream of charging for something as miniscule as my attempts at map making. While nice for an amature, their nothing close to being worthy of charging. Let me know what you need done and I'll do my best to create to your specifications.

Alright I'm going to create a poll asking what the location style should be and I'll tally up the votes at the end of three days (in C.T.)

The Poll is up! Vote here: http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1353460-blackrain-the-land-of-daedra-setting-poll/page__pid__20396582#entry20396582

I almost have the OP for Blackrain finished up, Tidus we made a design decision that means that we will not require your cartography skills, it will be explained in the OP I will have it up either today or tomorrow.

It's UP!!!

We need more folks for the Blood Company.

The Mah Incident: A small travelling party RP which focuses on dangerous combat and character interaction/development is looking for one more character to join the party! We only take psycopaths or those mentally unstable. ; D

I would join, but the posts seem rather...short. Not trying to diss or anything..

While I agree, I do believe there's a stupid emphasis on long posts being better than short posts. Short posts, in my opinion are just as good as pages, if not better.

I don't think that's a fair measure of quality. I think long is good only when necessary. Many times though, it's not necessary, it's just easier.

Just like math or programming, it requires an effort from you to do the same with less characters.

I know. But I always found that shorter posts lacks a certain quality such as character thoughts, views and taste and everything that happens. But I might consider joining. What exactly is required of this psychopath?

I was under the impression that forum roleplaying was all about Quality and not quantity? When did this stop becoming the case?

Because larger posts have quality. Shorter posts, sometimes, do not. Unless the person is a good Rper, I just don't see that a shorter post has much of an effect as a large post. Note, when I say larger, I don't mean ten paragraphs. Two to three is good.

I think that the issue is why a certain post is long, and I can see two main reasons: either it has a lot of "stuff" (plot, and actual events that are happening), or a lot of detail (describing what's happening, or even what your character thinks about the events). A lot of plot stuff affects length, but not quality; detail affects both positively. If a post is four paragraphs long but includes seven distinct events, then it probably isn't very high quality. If it is instead two to three paragraphs long and describes one or two events, that means that it is more detailed, and is probably of better quality (to a point).

That's what I've gathered, just from reading a bunch of RP posts.
