Maybe the tiltyard area should be more of a large courtyard in between the main building and the gym

So at first I was thinking something like this. But the stables still need a place. It should probably be on the side somewhere so it’s accessible from the front and the back, as people come in from travel.

Thoughts? Is this actually practical or does something else make a lot more sense? Is this scribble legible?

@whalekeeper

Sounds good to me!

I’ll just draw something and you guys tell me what to change

Okay. Maybe the gymnasium is a separate building in the center of the back gardens, then. We could integrate the gardens so they sort of surround the gymnasium (hedge bushes and paths and the like), and the tiltyard is walled off so the gym isn’t spilling into the tended grounds. Plus the stables are there… somewhere…

I like what Koshka said. Much easier to understand. XD

@whalekeeper

I agree that making a map will actually make the roleplay easier later.

Let’s see…

Main building is here /=========

There’s a path leading out from the back right(bird’s eye view) of the building that either enters a walked off courtyard, or for simplicity’s sake enters straight into one since the courtyard is probably formed by…[Read more]

Sorry if no one wants it to be this hyper specific, but I think it might make roleplaying easier in the long run. If the boys will be in the gymnasium a lot

This is a really huge gymnasium, but it makes perfect sense for a bunch of chaotic boys.

A few questions. Should this gymnasium take up pretty much all of the back of the academy? Should it be in the main feature back there or should we put it to the east or west side? Or is it completely separate from the main building?

the path from the main…

@whalekeeper

a map would be great

Giving this kid the break he needs

@whalekeeper Moth still following? 

Ellis 

Ellis let his feet lead as his mind wandered. He soon found himself on a gravel path outside meandering down a hill towards the gardens. It was much quieter out here. Two yellow butterflies flitted into view, dancing around each other, and he paused a moment to w…[Read more]

I like this! Yes, please do a visual. Even a simple one would be great.

Obviously I can’t draw anything skilled. But I need the digital equivalent of a scribble on a whiteboard

@elishavet-pidyon

I really like the idea of setting the gym so it’s half inside, half outside, with the open doors to the courtyard.

How about I try to do a quick drawing of what you described and post it so we have a visual? And we can add/change things as needed.

Having a basic visual would probably be helpful even if the gym was simpler, b…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon That sounds good. I appreciate the detail :]

I think Wilhelm is wanting to get on a horse. XD He will probably not be thrilled to be stuck indoors.

@loopylin

I keep thinking of a mix between Edwardian Boarding School Gyms, modern day gyms, and medieval tilting yards.

Martial arts are usually done indoors on mats, which would be quite unusual for many of our characters. Tilting and mele would probably benifit from being outside. Earlier RPs included a large horse/trail riding aspect, so I…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon so is it an outdoor gymnasium?

Wolfgang 

He pranced along behind Wilhelm. “What should we do first? Swords or wrestling? Or I could race you!”

Wilhelm

The professor bowed back. His thick black hair curled around his head like sheep’s wool. When he straightened, he stood no taller than Wilhelm did. The man studied them with twinkling black eyes.
