[quote=@Ellri] Ah. Fair enough, [@NuttsnBolts]. These days, even seeing such a castle doesn't really reveal all that much about it. The society is too changed from then. We're also fond of using maps and 3D models in our RPs. They help out a lot. [/quote] Thats the weird part I found when I went to Japan and we walked through some of the old castles. I remember seeing the wooden temple in Kyoto, I think, with a 50m tall Buddha and was like, "holy cow... how did they build that?" I know there can be a stigma with using images in some RPs, but sometimes a map can make the world so much easier to explain because it makes sense as to why certain areas are in certain locations, not to mention distance judgements.
