	Hi Notus.. I had an idea earlier that just came to mind.. it may be a fun project? Just throwing it out there in case you like it: for new players I think it would be great on the [[Serbule]] page to have a zoomed-in map of exclusively the town. Because the map itself is very innacurate and low res zooming it as a base for placing NPC icons doesn't work well (I tried in Photoshop and it looks terrible).		Hi Notus..

Because the map itself is very innacurate and low res zooming it as a base for placing NPC icons doesn't work well (I tried in Photoshop and it looks terrible). You could do it also in the "Super Nintendo" style ;) that outlines the town walls, buildings, well, fountain,.. and then you could have mainly the NPC icons on there with their names.

You could do it also in the "Super Nintendo" style ;) that outlines the town walls, buildings, well, fountain,.. and then you could have mainly the NPC icons on there with their names. (In the future if I manage to do it we could do the NPC names as a HTML layer with clickable links).		This would be just for Serbule Keep which is the first large town for new players, as the other towns/castle are quite small in comparison (as of the alpha). We could have both the zone map, and the town map in a side "infobox" [[Goblin Dungeon\|similarly to how we have two images in the infobox of Goblin Dungeon]].
