I thought of this while watching Gate, and started thinking of senarios similar to the title. Would the same thing occur like it did in Gate or would it spark stuff new. Just wondering
Hey guys! I know this is a bit of an odd question, but I was curious if mute swans had any rules and regulations revolving around them in the United Kingdom. I'm across the pond in New York and I've been hearing some talk lately about protecting our mute swans with the "same restrictions as Britain" and I have no clue what restrictions we would be imitating.
I'm considering accepting my position in a university there and since I'm also thinking about starting a band, I was wondering about the scene.
Which groups and genres have come out of these cities in the U.K.?
'The Liberal Democrats in Hull have tabled a motion to Hull City Council that calls for the Chief Executive Matt Jukes to write to Chancellor of the Exchequer Sajid Javid, requesting Government support to pilot Universal Basic Income (UBI) in Hull.
The Liberal Democrat Councillor Paul Drake-Davis, is moving the motion in a bid to tackle [...]'
Up until now my city encounters....encounter only revolved around a simplistic area; a tavern on a high street with nearby facilities. Any other exploration was very much destination-based, no description given to the actual city which I hate having to do.
I obviously can't draw out a map big enough to encompass such a huge city and even if I did a local one, we all know that any set of players would wander out of it.
I have a huge list of stuff I want to do: shops, services, characters and storylines but I want the city to feel real and not just one of those point and click adventure games. Up until now, they've been in manageable, small locations like villages and towns. Now they're in a city of massive proportions and they all have different ways of exploring.
Two of them are hunter-gatherer types, running off to do exactly what they want to do and find the places they want to find. For example, the party Rogue is obsessed with going to the nearest exotic brothel so she can sample the chicken wings.
Another one is very much a follower of others, but he's also a Druid who's never been to such a city. How do I play to that in a rewarding way without terrorising his character or leaving them in the dust compared to the others?
The final one has the most annoyi- unconventional method of interaction. It goes like this: "[DM], I want to go on a walk for the entire day." God knows I'm not too good at making small interests that don't spiral into adventures themselves. I don't mind if they all do their own thing, they're very much independent people - and they will split up.
*Sigh*
I hope this is understandable. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have 6 days.
I've been developing an alternate-history England as a setting for a storyline [possibly a video-game idea in the future when I've got things worked out a bit more], and it's alternate history down to things like background history, not just World War I or World War II.
The setting isn't fully defined yet, and the characters aren't either.
One such way of showing it is the place-names.
These are the place-names:
The old name is underneath it.
#Old name
**New name**
#Wolverhampton [West Midlands]
New name Wistansmoor
Named for Mercian prince Wigstan, I was considering changing the history a bit so that Wulfrun may not have existed.
Wigstan is present in the area, in nearby Wobaston ["Wigstan's farm] in bordering Staffordshire, but it's not confirmed if it is or isn't the prince, from my own research - this was a common-ish name for Anglo-Saxon men in mercia.
#London
New name: Harlesey
Old English for Heoruwulf's island [Heoruwulf + eg "island"]
Other names possibly: Edgmore [or Edgemare] from Old English ecg "edge" + gemaere "boundary".
#Cambridge
New name: Gracebury [or Greasbrough, Gracebrough, Graceborough]
Etymology from Old English gaersen-burh "fort on grassy land", here referring to the river Cam.
What could be plausible reasons for these names to exist, for example London and Cambridge having very different names to our timeline?
I haven't quite figured out the history for this, even though I've used a place-name book for inspiration.
I would appreciate any advice, I want this to sound at least plausible as an alternate history.
Can you advice me cities that are worth to move for career/multicultural and kids friendly for school.
