When you say you "built" it, what does that mean? The images are awesome, by the way!  |

Looks great! Though area 21 (Inner Bailey) is supposed to grass-covered for troop-driling and jousting.
What is "Minecraft"?

It's funny how I can look at those images and memories resurface as if I'd physically been there many times. Thanks for doing this and thanks for sharing! Have an exalt!

That is very good! Be sure to share any other fantasy related maps you make!

Finarvyn and Zenopus: Minecraft is a first-person video game wherein you can run around and explore a wilderness, adventure into caves, fight monsters, mine and collect resources, craft your own weapons and equipment, farm, and build pretty much anything you can imagine. The game is deliberately "lo-fi", with a characteristic blocky look due to the world being made of one-meter cubes of rock, dirt, sand, and so on. The video Fandomaniac linked shows you what it looks like. SMKSensei and Kesher: I'm glad my version of the Keep was so evocative of memories -- B2 was my first adventure, and I've always had a particular fondness for it. It's really neat to be able to walk around inside the Keep and look up at the towers and stuff. Warrioroffrobozz: You can check out some of my other projects at isomage.imgur.com/ and here's a Japanese-style castle I built and currently live in on a multiplayer server I play on: imgur.com/a/xalRP

That's fantastic! We've been building the Dwimmermount dungeon in Minecraft. Right now the server it lives on is not open to the public, but I'd love to get OD&D boards folks involved.

That is awesome! I love Minecraft, though I haven't played in a while. Back when I was running B4 I started recreating the pyramid from that module, but gave up early on because I'm lazy. What people can do with this game never ceases to amaze me.

In case anyone's interested in doing D&D to Minecraft conversions, here's how I related D&D's ten-foot squares to Minecraft's one-meter blocks (D&D's squares are in blue):  Note that this gives a horizontal scale of 4 meters per 10 feet, so you should scale tower heights, etc., accordingly; thus, for example, a 30' tower would be 12 blocks tall. This results in the Minecraft version being slightly larger than the D&D original, but this actually works very well -- since Minecraft has a resolution of one meter, you tend to need to build slightly larger than 1:1 anyway if you want the interior spaces to be the right size (the walls of a house, for example, aren't usually one meter thick). So, a 10' wide corridor made this way would measure 3 meters in interior width, or about 9.8 feet -- pretty close! |

I have heard about Minecraft, but never played it. On the other hand, I had checked-out an online game some kid was playing at the local library called Roblox that looked like a Lego-styled Minecraft game. Its actually quite fun! In my own "Place," I had built a space port, large (16x16) walls with game sprites from Legend of Zelda (not permanent: just goofing around), and I'm working on a dungeon (lots of excavation work!). I also discovered a way to fly under the map, so I can see under the map's surface as a hollow shell... so I'm going to dig around, and plant some funny and/or obscene eastereggs.  And yes, Minecraft and Roblox are like Legos, but for grown-ups. ;D |

Hey, who says Lego isn't for adults?!? I still get sets for Christmas, and I'm 31... Yeah, I kid. One never really grows out of them. They can be built into anything the builder imagines, and are highly scalable: from a little cityscape, to a huge town set. Plus, as old as I am (about your age), I still have Lagos too! ;D Actually, those games are in someways better then Legos, as the blocks have an even shape (even on all sides and have no protruding connectors), and you never have to worry about running out of blocks, as you can just manifest them. The only down-side is that you cant hold your creation in your hands. |
