So... Be careful what you wish for...

After i posted my wish, Decar actually granted it!

But we started talking on our CarcC discord channel, and several of us got more and more enthusiastic about actually making something like that happen!
So it's still early days in the idea, but i'm thinking the following:
- We have people who are interested to join in sign up
- Everyone gets assigned 1 or more tile(s) from the standard base game (amount depending on the amount of participants)
- Everyone may recreate their tile(s) artistically, with their own input. This can be a simple decoration, a personal memory of Carcassonne or a nice Easter Egg to Carcassonne Central
- For now, no additional rules for the tiles (otherwise you'd get 72 expansions basically)

As i am personally not great with the actual art portion of it (designing the tiles, actually printing them, etc), i think it would be good if we can have a guide available from our forum ranks who can help people with their design. This can be either by posting a guide, or sharing templates, or even going so far as to actually making the design come to life. (note, this is tbd, as i can't offer that myself so would be depending on if someone can/wants to do so and in what capacity).

We can start with the aim for a digital version of it, which can be available for people on the forum to download/print&play.
I'd love to organise an actual printed version of it (even alone due to the fact that i can't print myself), but that is for later.
Also, and this would be especially if we can organise a printed run, Dan came up with the idea of having the contributing members sign a scoreboard. Details tbd, but it can be something we pass around, so everyone who contributes shares in making this a reality.

So.... Dreams of a madman? Or maybe even a visionary (i wouldn't go that far)?
Anyone interested in joining this project?

KBellon:
Sounds like a fun idea, maybe hard to actually bring to fulfillment.
But I guess it's woth a try.
I have absolutely no experience on the artistic side when it comes to developing Carcassonne tiles, but given a comprehensible explanation I would certainly try my best  ;D

DIN0:
I would be interested! But how does one take part in the project? How are tiles assigned? And is it plausible to make the tile in a way I want, or am I required to adhere to a common style? I have no experience in making realistic looking Carcassonne artwork, but I sure could make my own interpretation.
The result would be more mosaic then consistent, but that is what I would actually like about the CarcassonneCentral version of Carcassonne! Everyone to express themselves.  :orange-meeple:

This is a really nice idea and I'd love to see the result  :yellow-meeple:

But design isn't my cup of tea so I'll not participate in the process (and anyway, with a recently born second child at home and house move to prepare, time is... Well... A rarity)

Decar:
I'd like a CRFR tile please!
