I'm sure you are mate:)

I just didn't know skullport extended so far. I thought it was just a small town underneath waterdeep.

Skullport's actually just a sqaut cavern, reatively speaking, on the third level down within the much larger underground structure of Undermountain. And Undermountain's big. Add to that connecting caves and you've got miles and miles of Underdark stretching well beyond the borders of Waterdeep.

If , as looks likely, we do go with SP I think its absoloutley vital there is a close working relationship between SP and WD DM teams. In the past there was a lack of this and it led to some astounding plot inconsistencies and changes in NPC behaviour. The two are so close to each other (all be it straight down) that there is a lot of crossover between major NPCs and PCs.

Good to see that Underdark is not only Drow!

THere are Duergar fanatics amongst ALFA!

This thread got dug up from a few weeks back by Sand, but the issue was decided on back then too.

Skullport exterior is largely built and I've finished the tile layout of the relevant section of Level 1 of Undermountain today. Hopefully by week's end I'll have Lv2 and Lv3 done (relevant sections only....probably 1/10th of the overall level) so that it's possible to walk from Skullport to Waterdeep and back.

The design of UM will be to facilitate travel primarily. Obviously threats will exist if you wander off the path. There's plenty of time to flesh UM out once the server is in beta.
