Founded in 348 BA as a campsite for those travelling across Thera
from the Dragon Sea, Gimpville is right in the center of Thera, and one
of the most important cities on the continent. Gimp was the mining
partner of Nicolai Grandu, and the two became famous first for breaking
through the snow covered land and discovering the vast mineral deposits
there, then later for establishing contact with the dragon community of
Cloudy Mountain. Gimp and Grandu had their most famous disagreement
over how to treat with the residents of Cloudy Mountain, leading Gimp
to venture across the Dragon Sea to Thera, and finally to the sit that
is now
Gimpville.
Through the wonder of the time rift, you can not only explore
downtown, but visit Gimpville's humble beginnings via the portal that
exists between the times. Modern travellers often visit to tour through
Gimp's Castle, and the many fine works of art there. Some are even
lucky enough to see the Pulp Fiction Emperor himself, Gimp, and his
son, GimpII.
Directions: Gimpville is found just off the Thera freeway, in the area
that
once separated the Haan-Dor and Mahn-Tor forests.
from Midgaard Recall: 2s 13w 2n 15w
2n.. that
puts you in the market square of old Gimpville.. open grate... then d n
open grate, up. That will put you into the modern on Main Street. For
MUD purposes, the fantasy era Gimpville is called "Gimpville" while the
modern era Gimpville is called "Downtown Gimpville". To get back to
Midgaard, you have to return to the fantasy era... 2n from recall in
Downtown Gimpville will see you to the grate, and the passage back to
the fantasy time. Once you're through the grate and back to the market
square in old Gimpville, recalling will take you back to Midgaard
Mage's note: For the magically inclined, most passersby in Downtown
Gimpville don't mind if visitors gate in from the old days, they love
pointy hats!
Attractions: Downtown Gimpville has a wide variety of entertainment
for the modern visitor. The Gimpville Cinema offers daily matinees at
either of its two screens. Just across the street is an arcade, just
waiting to provide hours of family fun!
Or, for more adult fun, there is Gimpville's world famous Casino.
The Cinema is on the north end of main
street, just before the end. The
mobs include the employees, as well as characters from the two movies
playing, the Crow and Pulp Ficton.. the run from level 20 -45 or so. I
few of the stars of the movies do have some eq
The arcade is just a bit south, and on
the
other side of the street from the theatre. There are three games where
you can kill things, Centipede, Zelda, and Doom. The Doom area is BAD
NEWS for newbies, stay away (the warnings there are for real) The
regular mobs of the other two areas are very low level..20 or less,
but, as with the cinema, the "stars" of the game are higher, and carry
some eq
