Kolum Mod Project

Awesome! Those series are amongst my Favorites (albeit I think Cook's "Dread Empire" series was better than the Black Company books), and, especially now that Illwinter has apparently made it possible to mod pretenders, would be perfect for Dominions. The Hanged Man, Howler, etc, all scheming and warring for Dominion.

And the ... critters from the far side of the Icewall certainly make an interesting nation, as do the Wildlings actually.

I'll be very interested in seeing how things go, and possibly willing / able to help out, as a near-scholar of those two milieus.

Well, keep in mind that my setting is just heavily influenced by those books and isn't in any way supposed to be representative of them. While there are a few characters you might see sort of re-embodied in new forms, the terrain should be pretty much brand new to you. I know that someone else here was working on a Black Company mod but was still in the early going. They've got an incomplete Version on the IW site.

As it stands, I'm now sitting about and educating myself in PhotoShop which is, well, rough and slowgoing, particularly with two bad mice. Making sprites is probably going to be the slowest part of this project, sadly. What I'd really like are some tips from the pros on how to cut into the time consumption that requires.
