Beacon Grounds Size
« on: October 06, 2016, 03:13:20 PM »
I just realized how large the Beacon grounds are:

Here's a map of Vale.

Notice that "river" going into the Beacon territory? Here's what it looks like.

Thus, it's safe to assume that the overall area of Beacon, including the Emerald Forest is FRIGGIN HUGE compared to the actual school. With rivers, a dock, waterfalls to meditate under, etc.

Hey that just means more places for our characters to go. Maybe we could have more threads that are not inside a city because that's pretty much 90% of them. Once I finish my teacher we probably will have more of those.

Is there any EASY way to access the old threads? I know I can because I found the right url to the old boards but is there a link somewhere on the site to make it ez access?

Ah, the olden days. Of this RWBY rpg site. My my my, I wonder how those days were...

Hark! A Dr. Gustave appears, giving us links to our ancestors, some of which are still alive and kicking today! Would you believe that?

Oh, and wow, pretty big indeed. Nice to know, good job Asterisk!

If what I remember from IRC chat the first time I got on it is true, the Olden Days largely consisted of what is now the Staff pissing one another off with each other's characters. Also mentally challenged Beowolves and weird time-travel, dimension-clashing shenanigans.

'Twas a silly place.
