APRIL / MAY 2014 LITE CHALLENGE: Cross-Genre

[Diamond]

Hello again, everybody!

For this month's Lite Challenge, what we're going to do is take a classic trope from one genre and translate it into another genre. Style doesn't matter; you could do ship deck plans, a battle map, city map, regional, world, whatever you want. But the idea is to come up with an idea that we've all seen done before, like a castle floor plan, and re-invent it as perhaps the command tower on a massive space cruiser. The idea is to keep as many of the tropes associated with whatever you're mapping as you can, just translated to the new setting.

So, you could do stuff like the Typical Left-Justified Fantasy Continent, but as a modern road map; re-create the area where you live as a fantasy map (like this awesome map); or even remake a space station as an Old West fort.

I realize this may be a little more involved that what we normally do, but it IS supposed to be a challenge, right? If you have any questions, concerns, or complaints, please direct them to this thread or PM me.

The Challenge will run until the 14th of May, then we'll have four days of voting after which the winner will be awarded a brand-spanking-new Silver Compass.
