What about a Trollbridge project, like a thread or wiki where people can dip in and add places to a map? Towns, cities, baronies, kingdoms, empires... No time limit, just add as you go? This is a great idea. Something I whole heartedly would like to see. I started detailing The Sump in the "claiming your Trollworld" thread. But maybe people would like to see a unique map to Vin's Trollbridge? The Vin Ahrr Vin Islands or simply Trollbridge- the archipelagos off the Dragons back? Or a completely different world?

Perhaps the Trollbridge should be a map of the portals, gates, and other places where the various Trollworlds overlap and connect. I'm not sure how you'd even begin to draw that, but the idea intrigues me...

Yes! How appropriate-The Trollbridge as portal. What does a Troll use to brush his teeth during inter-dimensional travel? Trollgate

I had an idea similar to this when I got involved with fantasy cartography. I was thinking that we could do a TrollBridge collaboration on a map project with folks suggesting features and places as we go. If someone suggests a feature that we agree on and it's added to the map then they can do the write up on it. Once it was completed, at least all the major features and places, then, maybe, we could release a special Trollszine! Cartography edition with the map and a consolidation of the write-ups everyone made for the various features.

Have a little no-prize competition for who can submit the best map.. .or have a number of decent maps connected to create a game world. I think a wiki style thing would be best where people can dip in and out with legends, tales, names of merchants and rules, bad guys, where the monsters live, dungeons and so on.

post world maps (or continents or whatever) in this thread? Hexographer and a few others spring to mind, or hand drawn stuff can have it's own charm. Votes for the one to use, then a wiki from, say www.wikispaces.com/content/wiki or some such? I've started a wiki once but lost interest (as there was only me updating it and no one read it anyway) but a casual group effort whereby people can fill in details of places, perhaps made up on the spot or from campaigns. There'd need to be a variety of Empire types, like Orcs, Trolls, Dragons etc, as this game is less human centered than say, D&D, or at least it seems to me. Open to ideas and suggestions? Heck, even submitting descriptions of places and people and putting into a word/pdf document with a cut and paste.

I don't know, but it's been a year and a half now, and this hasn't seen any action...

You dug up this old thread from when I still had a fire under my pants for collaborations Unfortunately, this thing never grew legs. I did have a thread here where I was developing The Great Sump with the same intentions of collaboration. I got along quite a bit with it, but again, no takers on collaboration. Such things can be pulling teeth and I guess everyone has their own individual projects and games going that detract from doing projects like this. There's always Trollzine! contributions to satisfy that creative itch for most too

But... But... without a portal... Where to the little LepreHobbits come from? Seriously, this was a great idea. Let's see if we can get it going... HEY, YOU GUYS!!!!!

Trollworld grows when we actually see a published Deluxe rulebook, which seems like wishful thinking at this point.
