#54 Challenge: Athkatla
Deadline: Monday, 20th April
Post your piece in this topic!

The City of Coin - enough said. Draw the city where you characters get rich, find new NPCs, get into trouble and so on and so forth...

You remember the drill I hope. You have two weeks time, and everything artistic goes as long as it's made by yourself.

That's why it's called challenge Ali. It's for practice.

Now, to add something to the challenge.
The usual night at Athkatla, and war between thieves guilds. (on paper it didn't look so uneven -_-)

Looks good!
Perspective could use some work I think, but otherwise, the feel of it is just right. :]

Gorgeous buildings as well, Lythari :) I love the peeling plasterwork. Is that a bridge district arch in the background as well?

I can't draw buildings so: cheats!

Second one was drawn on the train with no reference or colours so I apologise for it in advance :P

I want one. I must have one. That is just so brilliant...

And I'm serious about that. We should get a thread started somewhere for suggestions for "Chance" and "Community Chest" cards. I doubt you could sell it for profit, since the game is copyrighted, but you can always make enough to cover expenses. I'm sure everybody's got D&D miniatures floating around to use as pieces.

Yes, at least it's supposed to be. ^^

BTW, Nix, your picture is really original. And funny as well :D

Yes, that's what I had in mind, too. I was also thinking of maybe releasing the customised graphics for free, so everyone could take a regular Monopoly set and customise it themselves.

Where would the "Chance" and "Community Chest" thread best be placed here in the forums?

Oh, and you read my mind with the D&D miniatures. I was thinking of exactly that for player figures. Hmmm, and maybe we could even use a D12 instead of 2 D6 - that is if Monopoly used two D6. I can't quite remember right now. :lol:

That said, I just acquired a Cheap old Monopoly set from ebay. Now to get to preparing the graphics, and figuring out a good way to transfer them well onto the board once it is there.

Hasbro seem to have enough versions of monopoly hanging around that I'm sure a fully balanced and tested FR one wouldn't be entirely refusable to them. :)

Monopoly uses 2d6.

Colours are only slightly off from regular monopoly (from GO, going clockwise): Brown, Light Blue, Magenta, Orange, Red, Yellow, Dark Green, Dark Blue.
