University Accommodation

Concept and Written by James Woodwright

Meta Quote: The images of the University Members' rooms currently displayed on the DND Whiteboard are temporary. I’m collaborating with my Creative Partner to create more professional visuals. However, the current images serve as good placeholders to illustrate the concept in the meantime.

If you see a black die, it indicates that portion of the wall is solid. A blue die signifies the presence of a window in that section.

All University members have the rights to accommodation at the University which is the same building as Lavandula Palace.
Each of the rooms come with a game, whidh in the case for the Applicant is going to be basic, more expensive games are included in the other rooms and are a lot more random. A member of the University can stay in their quarters regardless if they get promoted, based on the location of the rooms.

Accommodation By Rank

Applicant - 3 by 3

Applicants are the only ones with accommodation not in the building itself, instead being in the same building as the Servants' Quarters. These only have enough room for a single bed, a desk and a wardrobe. There is often not enough space for anything else and any work that requires a large floor requires careful planning. The point of a small quarters is to motivate them, not just because they are small, but because they are in the same building as the servants. This, in turn, may imply in others that the rank of Applicant is a servile rank.

Novice - 4 by 4

The Novice quarters are the smallest of those that are in the University. They are the first rank to have a bookcase as Applicants are unlikely to need a bookcase as they will have no books to need one. There room is bigger so they can do some small work.

Apprentice - 4 by 5

Apprentices get a bigger room that than the Novice but nothing much changes from there. They could, if they wanted to, get more furniture.

Master - 5 by 5

The Master is bigger still and can hold a table that can sit more than 2 people which callows them to invite other members over to their quarters.

Doctor - 6 by 5

The Doctor's Quarters are the biggest quarters, apart from the Grand Artisan's. Beyond the size of the room, the Doctor gets a second bookcase as they may have the need for an extra bookcase.

Purpose / Function

The pur pose of the room is to give a room for University Members to use for rest along doing p;private research if they prefer their own room to do it in.

Design

Which are the dimensions of the room? Is it square or rectangular? What colour and what material is the ceiling/floor/walls made of?[ . . . ]

Denizens

Which people, creatures or monsters call this room their home or can be found here regularly? Think rats, cockroaches, Bob the Bard or Hfthang the friendly Cthuhlu.[ . . . ]

Contents & Furnishings

What sort of items can be found in the room? Tools, weapons, furniture, electronic devices on the walls, or unique magical puzzles waiting to be solved![ . . . ]

Alterations

The rooms that are used for accommodation are the same when the University was a Palace. The only difference is that the rooms (apart from the Applicants') get a bookcase(s). Some of the servants had their Quarters confiscated to allow Applicant the place to sleep.

Architecture

Which is the style of architecture used in this building? Which is the stone or wood used for the walls of its buildings?
