blackaeronaut Wrote:I gotta admit, I am curious to see how 36 Atalante would come out myself. What info do you need besides obvious things like population size?All of these are either self-explanatory or standard GURPS terms:
- population,
- appearance - how pretty or ugly the city is,
- an indication whether any health measures affect local hygiene in ways unusual to the culture,
- local magic level and relative availability of enchanted items (both are "None" for Fenspace),
- official language or languages,
- actual language or languages in common use,
- median Literacy level (None/Broken/Accented/Native),
- Tech Level ("8^" for Fenspace),
- median Wealth level,
- range of Social Status held by natives,
- Government type (most military bases count as "Dictatorship", with the C.O. the person in charge),
- Control Rating (0=anarchy, 6="Big Brother" total control),
- how much of that control one can bypass if one has the right knowledge or connections,
- local terrain,
- any special defenses,
- anything that's easier or more difficult to find in this city than in a typical city of the same size (high-society parties, universities, left-handed socket wrenches, someone with unobtanium for sale, ... when I said anything, I meant anything), and
- any special cases modifying any of the above.
That's enough for a statbox. Full city descriptions include a brief history of the city and (non-statted) descriptions of important places, people, and events, all of which we have as separate FenWiki pages.
