    Hey there, Swanage is indeed a beautiful place and I know I should go back there sometime. I am slightly north of you but you can see where some of us are and add yourself to the members map if you like. Theres a link in my sig or now its also under the Community menu bar. I am also a Me-Dem'er which is the middle earth digital elevation model-er and were producing a very large and detailed ME map.

    Someone on here that knows of and has visited Swanage! What are the odds? Thanks for the welcome, Redrobes. Are most of the members here interested in world building because of their interest in role playing? I've never role played before and don't really know much about it. I'm more interested in world building because of the cathartic and, more importantly, creative aspects.

    A large group is in it for roleplaying, yes. There are also a lot of members who are interested in worldbuilding just for the sake of it. Then there's people like me, who are building a world, because they are writing stories/novels. This probably covers the largest groups, but be sure to correct me if I forgot a group...

    I had hopes of writing something many years ago and decided to make a map. I didn't like it so I made another one. Six years later I still haven't made one that I'm totally happy with and have pretty much given up hopes of ever writing something. If I did any role-playing I would do my maps more to proper scale for things like VTTs and print but being an artist by trade I just enjoy the process of creating and now make maps just for fun.
    If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.
