Communal Fireplace for Brass Coast

Nations The Brass Coast
#1

From Will Power:
“I have commissioned the wonderful Phil Rayner to make our ship shaped fire pit. Obviously the actual amount is more than the £100 we made from the banquet. Any further donations gratefully received. PayPal to will@heartofpargon.co.uk”

Any chance on seeing a rough design? I’m curious as to exactly how awesome this will be!

How much more money is needed?

A design was posted to the FB group. Hopefully this will work:

I think only members can see that. You might be able to download it and post it? I’d love to see the design… :slight_smile:

It works fine for me when I’m not logged into Facebook so I’m hoping it’s ok.

That should work for you?

Is the base solid ? It appears to be.

#8

OOOO!!! I like that!!

#9

It’s a boat shaped dream come true.

blows off some heavy dust from the thread

Is this still being used? Do we have a communal fire pit area? :smiley:

#11

The pit was definitely commissioned and exists! I have been away from the Coast for a couple of years now though so I don’t know how often it is used these days.

Ah that’s a shame. It would be nice to see the nation all sat round together. Still. If it’s not anchored in a communal area anymore, maybe it could be again. I’ve always found fireplace gatherings the heart of campsite bonding :smiley:

The fire pit suffered terribly a couple of years back - the of the legs fell off and it was practically rusted through. It has been repaired since, and it has scuttled around between the odd camp (Krakenfire had it for a while, purely on the basis of ‘if you fetch it from storage/where you saw it in Highguard, you can use it’). It doesn’t especially get used as a focal point of a communal area, but it has been used as a part of various national celebrations that have involved fire.

Ah that’s sad news. It sounds like a work of art.
Thanks for that.
I’ll add to my personal goals the communal gathering of the coast round a fire :fire:

I think the parador aspect of the coast may be why it never took off in the coast. There are a number of groups that host gatherings and the differences and competition between them, I feel, is a big part of the social fabric of the Freeborn brief.

I must have skimmed over that section. Thanks for highlighting that for me.
I can see your point and it does make a kind of sense. Hrmm. Something to think on.
