Has anyone ever considered making a TC which doesn't use the BG2 plot at all?
A MOD that's mostly module based? You build a city, and a worldmap, with a couple starter scenarios.. run periodic best module contests, and add the modules into the map, with a map ICON which would be created by the module creator..
That way instead of everyone running around with their own projects and agendas the community is building a world together.. somthing more like an actual game instead of this "you're the son of an evil god" or "an ancient power is controling the minds of monsters to take over the world"..

Actually the really bizare random location map is going to be deep desert.. one of those that REALLY want to find the crype in the deep desert will have to work for it (if you want a really powerful item you need to earn it..)It kind of reminds me of the first time playing through Watchers Keep, which was frustrating (now it's easy).
Would it be possible to make the areas exit/entry points random? Say you have X number of forest maps, you then exit one and go to will another, it will be random, and it checks if you have been there before then it takes that one out of the equation. So your chances improve with each map you get to, and there is a slight chance that you will get to the ?Lost City? on your second try.
Did that make any sense?
the forest lost city will have another power items, and a couple quests.. I want to make it hard to find, but right now I'm working with 6 maps, I don't plan on more than 10 - and that'd be including forest boarders.

I thought it could be a fun side project for some of the people working on serious mods. I haven't seen many gag characters, and thought it could be fun.. I'm neck deep in serious stuff to do..May I suggest two idiots named George and John? Might be breaking the 4th wall a bit though...

I've about tapped out all the BG2 SOA sites with posting my mod. I dont have/cant find TOB, so I need to find out if the two still use the same menu structure - I'd assume so, it's just an addon..

Native american names can be good choices too - They're less likely to be recognized.. then again I have friends that can do translating for me, I don't know what's out there for web resources.
