    Section two seems already relatively busy with settlements, while section five could use more development.

    Rasgon,
    Not to be argumentative, and not having the legend here infront of me..... but while area two may have more settlements doesnt the larger circles in five imply townships? Confused
    which, to me would imply higher populations, development etc.
    I do agree wih your assessment of what fits your scenerio. Happy

    Yeah, in a hex 30 miles across, you don't have to hide a minor river underground if you want to include one. There are probably several of them on the surface.

    -Ahem. I predict one last poll, when we decide which specific hex to use.

    I'm gonna go ahead and cast my early voting for the second number two hex from the right , by the upper left corner of the first vertical quad of the left most portion of the polygon where , the minor underground stream emerges from an unknown spring, near the small clump of iron woods left by seeds scattered long ago by a traveler of Fharlanghn, to feed the second bend within that same afore mentioned river within the confines of the boundries of the afore mentioned defined hex.

    Based on the fact that Area 2 looks like it really belongs in Tehn, and I think it gets whacked by Stonefist in 583, I went with Area 5 before I missed on on yet another vote! Laughing

    Since there were 21 votes last time, and 16 now, and I didn't vote last time, that means there are at least 6 more possible votes out there.

    I'll be closing this poll down in a few days, and moving on to the next one.

    And so this one's done. Ample time for people to have voted. Seeing as the winning area has had many proponents mentioning a particular hex, we are going to go straight to that hex, that being the bottom most hex of Area 5. Darlene map hex U2-61. LGG map hex T-29. Paizo Dungeon Magazine map hex F2-76. If you don't have one of those maps, well, YOU SUCK! Laughing

    Other than for organizing things, my contribution to the project looks like it will be in fleshing out a skeletal back story for the general area, adding a little bit about the local terrain, and why the village is located where it is. Set the stage basically, and let the troupe of improvisational writers loose upon it. I may write one actual village entry too, depending on how much of wild hare gets let loose on writing the back story bits.

    More info to come...

    ....OR...maybe things are not quite so cut and dried.

    Seems that the area many are looking at already has a village located there- Woodsedge. Now, I haven't looked at "PAL-07 Wyrm Sign" just yet, but apparently that LGG adventure features Woodsedge and the area around it. If the area is already developed, even if just a bit, it would be better to choose a different area.

    But I'll leave it up to the collective, meaning, yes, one more poll.

    -I don't have a detailed map for that section, but Anna's map covers it. I don't know what she used as a basis, but based on the scale, it looks like there are at least 30 miles each between Stradsett and Woodsedge, Stradsett and Abottsford, and Abottsford and Woodsedge, and there are at least 10 miles between Woodsedge and the border with Nyrond (County of the Gamboge). And that's just if you stick to the known trails.

    There should be plenty of room to stick a small, previously unmentioned village unless the Living Greyhawk scenario specifically mentions that there are no settlements between those areas. The two bridges on the stream cry out for a settlement.

    Finally, LG is set in CY 591 and later. It is possible that if no settlememts are there in CY 591, that something may have happened to Vaillage (or whatever its name will be). Personally, I was looking for a place which wouldn't get whacked, but others may see it differently, and I can live with it.
