About Edgewater
Edgewater is a North American city built between roughly 1850 and 1990. Giving the city such a broad timeline allowed us to create a city that doesn’t feel caught in a particular moment in time. There are 19th century brownstones surrounding Jasmine Park, neoclassical institutions including the courthouse and capitol building, an art-deco inspired skyscraper, and even a few brutalist-inspired buildings.
The city has several distinct neighborhoods that are separated by rivers. The spawn is located on the mainland, which is itself separated into three areas: Morintonne Square to the north (centered by the courthouse), Jasmine Square direclty in the center, and Brewer’s Square to the south by the river. The mainland is largely dominated by residential spaces, with a few business/commercial districts spread here and there. East of the mainland is Three Gates Island, a lively nightlife neighborhood inspired by Boston and Philadelphia’s Chinatown. There you can find restaurants, arcades, vendors, salons, and more. The island is surrounded by three gates: The red gate, the yellow gate, and the midnight gate.
Finally, due directly south of the mainland you will find Highwater, historically an older neighborhood that has seen new development in the form of a brutalist-inspired library and post office in addition to a contemporary hospital.
In terms of building details, the city is built on a roughly 1.5:1 scale, with a standard block palette consisting of bricks, granite, sandstone, diorite, quartz, and concrete. However, Edgewater incorporates a variety of colors and checkered patterns to give the city depth and life.
I have had a great time working on this city for the past couple of years and have received great feedback so far from many of the players. I look forward to your notes and to hopefully obtaining a warp for Edgewater so that all players can more easily access the space and build/enjoy alongside me.
Thank you for your consideration.
