More of a request than a suggestion I suppose, but could somebody please update the map of Blackstar? It's severely outdated and lacks many important buildings and landmarks (eg: the Volcano, the Guardians' HQ, Dojopolis, etc), most of which are very important to roleplays here.

It would also be nice to establish some sort of measurement of distance between things, so that we have an idea of what's a fair amount of travel time to take to get from one place to another.

It's a bit of an assumption on my part, but with the Pumpkin Patch section setting itself up for some major RPing I think that we really do need a detailed map now more than ever.

This will serve as an update, and will be available for download to play, if you have C3Q


That was March 6th. As is not uncommon around here, optional projects like this one get pushed aside for... well other optional projects, like a name swapper.

I told DP where the citadel was; I'm not sure if you told him about your volcanoes, 3kul. Even if you did, it might not make a difference.

EDIT: Alas, I eat my own words... kind of. The topic below this one demonstrates that DP still remembers the map... although I don't get why we never saw it.

My volcanoes?

TheDarkPsycho wrote:
The Western Most realm is the Black Forest. Dangerous stuff goes on their, from teh steep cliffs of the Volcano, to the elusive lair of the Evil Council, It's not a place fo the faint of heart.


There has only ever been one volcano afaik, I'd never make any major changes like adding random volcanoes to the realm of Blackstar. It was mentioned in the Corporate Development thread as well as my Tremors across the Dojo, both of which also talked about the mysterious abandoned building that sits close to the top of the volcano. Since they both mentioned the exact same building I don't see how anybody could think that the volcano in TatD was different to the usual one, but I guess maybe it seemed like there was more than one what with my RPing from the point of view of eight or so different characters. Razz

I hadn't actually seen that post though Goron, when I clicked on the world map thread and saw that the picture remained the same I just clicked out of it (I have it saved to my computer, so I rarely check the thread itself). I suppose if I had seen it though, I would've thought that (as you said) this project had been pushed aside, and still would've ended up making this thread.

It might be good to get somebody other than DP to do all of the work for once though, I know that we have a lot of talented artists around here, maybe one of them take a shot at making a new map?

Not that great of an offer, but if someone could provide me with all of the information needed, I believe I could possibly draw a map to everyone's satisfaction.

I agree with seph (even though i am still angry at him because he severed my magic)

I think that anyone who wants to, could make a map, then we vote for the best.


In case anyone wants to know, the Catacombs are in the west-north corner

Zerrer, if you do it, you'll do it because you want to help the community, not for the money.

And there's more mountains up north...

not for anything i do on my own.

Nice looking map there Zerrer, though it's missing quite a few details.

Anybody who wants to is welcome to draw the map, though I guess in the end only one will be used (there's no harm in offering people a range to choose from though Smile).

So now to establish what exists in Blackstar. Off the top of my head, I'd say that we have:

Central Plains:
* Hall of Shame (refer to old map for location)
* Psychotopia City (refer to old map for location)
* Dojopolis (to the south of Psychotopia City)
* Pumpkin Patch
* Amphitheatre
* Bingo Hall (refer to old map for location)
* Market Place
* Olympic Stadium
* Dojo Entrance (refer to old map for location)

Black Forest:
* Volcano (+ mysterious building, see Corporate Development 1 & Tremors)
* Corrupted Cave (refer to old map for location, basically on the far western side of the Black Forest)
* Blackstar World Art Gallery

Evergreen Glades:
* The Archives (refer to old map for location)
* The Training Dojo (refer to old map for location)
* The Wilds (refer to old map for location)
* Meeting House Complex (refer to old map for location)

Southern Frontier:
* The Sanctuary
* Corporate HQ
* Pyramids (refer to Corporate Development 1)
* coolpikaaa's Safari Zone (this is where the thread is, isn't it? Where do you want it cp?)
* Fort's Wall (wasn't expecting this one to be a permanent addition Razz)
* Ocean (bordering the southernmost parts of the Southern Frontier)

Arctic Tundra:
* The Guardians Citadel
* The Challenge Arena
* Mt. Neverrest? (apparently the tallest and most dangerous mountain in the dojo, refer to coolpikaaa's RP by the same name, up to him if he wants to include it in the map or not though)

Let me know if I've missed anything and I'll add it in, this is just the basis for the master list of what's what in the Dojo.

What about Ashen's City of Hunters in the Southern Frontier? Maybe the farm that borders it.("As a Hunter Stalks") And possibly the old mill in the wilds ("The Last-Forever Machine")?

Are those noteworthy enough to put on the map?

Possibly wouldn't hurt to put some of the shops in on there that aren't in Psychotopia City (which Zerrer named "Blackstar Dojo". Which is wrong.)

Also, Zerrer, the borders of the tundra and desert are not that straight. Refer to old map
