So let's say I wanted to create a Tavern. Do I just go with whatever scale I want: 1 square = 5 feet, 1 Square = 10 feet, Does it matter?
Having little experience in doing this type of thing, I'm not sure how we should tackle it. I don't want you to have problems fitting a building in because it's so big it wipes out the street. Then you have to downscale it's size and suddenly that massive temple is now a place only halflings can visit
My initial vision of what we might have is along the lines of the example below. I just grabbed a modern downtown area to show the "plots". (You have to click on the image to see them.) Maybe it's too much work to set this up? Maybe it's overkill? Maybe it will work for some towns but not others depending on how they were drawn up. I guess this is what the Planning & Zoning director will determine. Then all we need is a way to measure the scale and we can create buildings that fit nicely inside the property lines.
It is possible I'm being to specific about all this but it seems that if we can iron out a set way to do these it will pay off in the long run. I'm happy to help come up with a way to do this but my lack of experience might be a problem.
I guess I could just make a little town, plot it out, and let anyone who wants apply for "building permits". If nothing else I'll learn more than I ever wanted to.Then if it worked I could put together a tutorial or something. Right now the whole trying to make everyone's work go together when I barely know how to do my own is a bit overwhelming. Then again there is nothing like jumping into the middle of things to learn.
Kudos to IG who is willing to let us try this on Port Magalie! I am not trying to shy away from that but do we need someone to draw out the selected areas into neighborhood streets and plots? Alternatively, we could just go for it and see what happens. I am a little vague on what to do, how much square footage I have to work with, etc. I don't want to make something that is useless or a nightmare to fix later.
