Hello everyone! We are going to host a little building contest to update Mag's bar in Soubar. What is a building contest you might ask? Well it's simple! below there is a link to the current Mag's Bar and the Builders Modules, players and staff are encouraged to take the area and either remake it from scratch or update the current version. After three months we will judge the submitted redesigns for Mags and declare a winner!, the winners map will go into the module and they will be rewarded with their choice of 45k XP or 45K gold and bragging rights.
Sounds fun right?, If you have questions or concerns please post them here or PM me directly on the forums or discord. I will also be available to give advice, tips and guidance as I am available. Clearly a great time to pick up the toolset!
First of all, this is a freakin amazing idea. I am pretty excited to see what folks come up with.
I do have a few questions though.
1) What sort of mechanical things need to remain in the new version?
A) I see an appearance changer fella on there (I think the transition to him is in the market area of Soubar). Do we need to leave a space for him?
B) Do we need to ditch the transitions to the black abbey now?
C) What about the spawns in the basement?
D) Any limits on scripts or anything?
2) Is there RP to read about for this? And I don't ask that to be taxing of your patience. My question is only whether there is some background info to read up on to determine if there are IC things I should know about before I try my hand. Has she ordered stone or wood from somewhere, should that basement be filled in completely, that sort of thing. I don't want to add a second floor of wood construction and then realize that there is RP saying she wants it on one floor and has lined up stone from the Blackrose's or the dwarves or something.
3) Depending on what is out there to read, do you have a size in mind or anything, or do you want it to sit on the same footprint size-wise of the current building? Like is this going to be a new building, or just a general remodel/clean up of the existing building?
Thanks again! This is a fresh idea, and one that I hope lots of people take part in.
1) Mags must remain and the area must be usable
A) Nope you can kick him out in the cold if you want
B) Yes black abbey transitions can go
C) Up to you
D) None, except the obvious "no exploits"
2) There is none currently. The DM's might decide to make some as progress happens but as for now no concerns. I would however recommend researching the area lore wise. As lore accurate always good for a few extra points.
3) This is completely up to you guys. I will adjust the exterior as needed for the winner's map.
There is some Rp with Blackrose and Mag overseen by DM Boo a shipment of wood was delivered to mag to fix up her bar and the hole in the roof. Wood was also deliver to build Soubar Gates as well.

Well got some RP started already. Some Q&A from PMs.
Q: What will happen to area's that don't win?
A: Assuming they still meet the same quality they might become another inn on the server, or a DM map.
Q: Can i use it as an audition piece to join the builder team?
A: Of course!
Q: How do I open the map?
A: Just unzip the map files directly into your BG Builder directory and open as a directory.
Some of the references are missing. If the appearance is blank you can typically find it by searching out the blueprints tag in that area. I will release a new Builder once the split goes live that will hopefully have most of these fixed, but a couple might remain.
