On a separate note, does the word futtbuck sound wrong to you?


I don't remember starwars trade federation wanting to destroy the universe. For me it's more of a cross rip off of the covenant and what you said. Which makes it not a rip off at all really.


I meant the ship.

oh. the ships have many sources of inspiration. for example the last race, the one i said is like the borgs in star trek also has the ship inspired from there. only it's envisioned like a cube that slides oped to reveal it's laser center :P

5 boroughs plus new jersey and either Westchester or Long Island.

Use Ellis, Liberty and Governors Islands, tunnels and bridges.

Alas, along with a Roman empire map, this map has been countlessly suggested yet never perfectly implemented.

If you're planning on making this map, I 100% endorse it, ive been wanting a nyc map since i got here

I would like to propose a Pern map form the DragonRiders of Pern. *is not skilled enough with the tools, let alone good enough to DRAW the map.

This idea was just random, but if they're going to have a University & a park, then why not a house? :wink:

Dragonlance

I'd love a map based on something from the DragonLance novels. I'd put it together but I have no idea how to do it. I can barely go on Myspace.
