when i was planning the layout of Apple Lane for building it in unreal engine, I used the RQ2 version and ended up with Gringles being 40m by 18m and used that scale for the rest of the map. I think the south road that the orchard map shows branches off of the west road before it gets to Apple Lane, the scale on this map starts at 1 not 0 which is odd.

one thing I forgot to ask, am I reading it right that Orlanths ring is only visible every other week?

I can't get the app to work, but your post that you linked to really helps. The rising of the sky dome helps make sense of it. the Ice palace is like the jumpers and Pamalts spear and doesn't rotate, so a cluster of stars is great. thank you for the link and wise words.

Good morning, I've been reading about the night sky in GtG and have a few questions, 1) how far does the sky tilt back and forwards, I've worked out an upper limit of 45 degrees from north to south but that seems a lot. 2) are the east / west gates in a straight line with polestar at the equinoxes, because if they are then the days get shorter towards the summer solstice as the tilt heads north. 3) GtG mentions the Ice palace, but not what it looks like, is it one star or a cluster. 4) do the twinstars orbit each other while they cross the sky, 5) does Orlanths ring or

the one at 1:10 is the temple of Uleria, I need to add coupling caryatids to support the roof, as described in the gamemaster adventure book, but I'm still deciding how explicit I want them to be. the apparent graininess is an artifact of the video recording caused by the detail of the grass and tree leaves, I think I've got to the point where it has to be stationary camera shots and multiple cameras.

it's going to be gentle weathering, mud splashes around the bottom of the doors, soot stains on the top of the chimneys. Possibly soot stains above windows and doors on the buildings without chimneys, I'm not sure as the only house without chimneys I can think of have thatched roofs and the smoke seeps through it, but all of Apple lanes houses have tiled roofs.

yes it is, I've used the map in the RQ2 version for the layout and scale, and the picture from the Gamesmaster adventures for inspiration for its appearance.

thank you, weathering the buildings is on my list of things to do, but it's low on the list

i think shrimp look like woodlice that learnt to swim. for those of you who don't use facebook, here's a link to my latest view of Apple Lane.

normally north is at the top of the map unless otherwise stated. cross referencing the orchard map and the one at the back of Apple lane classic edition, I would guess that the road to Clearwine passes by the Cinder pits as it isn't shown on the Apple lane one, but that's the only route that doesn't go over hills.

that's really helpful, thank you. I'll have to make some changes to my Apple Lane build 🙂

thank you Nick, I'd missed that map as i was too focused on the picture of Apple Lane in the pack.

while building Apple Lane I realized that I don't know where the road that heads north leads to. The east bound one goes to Jonstown and the west one goes to Runegate. The map at the back of Apple Lane shows it heading north, almost showing it as a short cut between Runegates northern road, but when I look at the Argan Argar Atlas it doesn't show much there. Any thoughts?

very nice

I've expanded the area I'm building to include Apple Lane, I've only got three buildings to go plus trees and landscaping, maybe some livestock. https://youtu.be/HBeIrl7BdWk if anyone wants to see inside any of the new buildings let me know and I'll film them
