| *Zones: The overall areas your characters can explore. Think of them as world maps.
| | == Velocity: A definition == |
| *Nodes: Nodes are the bits most important to your character's interaction in the world. If you're a programmer, you might consider them metaphorical Entities.
| | Velocity: A vector defined by Magnitude and Direction. This is a fundamental definition of movement, action, and reaction within VeloCITY's mechanics. |

| == Zone Mapping ==
| | this is the area in which nothing man spitballs ideas and writes them down |
| A 'Zone' is the overall area your characters are currently in. It can be any size, from City-scale, to District-scale, to Neighborhood-scale, to Building- or Park-scale. A Zone by itself has a few simple statistics that measure it
| |
| * Name: The name of the Zone
| |
| * Size: The scale of the Zone
| |
| * Faction: The faction of Velo that currently controls this area. If none, it falls to the Police, or it is a Neutral area.

| === Nodes === | | Damage Force = Mass * Acceleration |
| A Zone by itself is fine and dandy, but what can your players do in an area? Node maps are the solution. With Nodes, you can define the actual chunks of the zone that matter. Every 'Node' is a possible element of the map that players can interact with. For this reason, node maps are extremely fluid and can change quite easily. It's best to keep the nodes in a map to only things that players currently want to interact with: During a race, you're going to want to define the race stretches as Nodes, possible alternate routes, and any relevant areas for tricks.
| |
|
| |
|
| Nodes have a few defining features:
| | Mass = Size + Edge [weapon stat] |
| * Every Node should have a default interaction roll, unless it seems unnecessary. If you're going to use a computer in a net cafe, you don't need to roll. If you want to use it to access obscure info from St. Altitude's outdated computers systems, that'll be a smarts roll.
| |
| * You should also define the default type of roll involved. An average rail will probably be an average Test. An extremely long, downhill rail? Likely to be a Challenge. A node cannot by itself be a duel, however, characters can likely duel on Challenge nodes if they are both on the same node.

|
| Canny MCs will allow their players to interact further with their environment. If it's a schoolyard, there will probably be a flagpole. It may not be stated in a node map, but a player can invoke its existence if the MC gives the go-ahead. This is called 'Tagging' Nodes, bringing them out of the background into the interactive grid.
| | Acceleration = Current moving speed |

| * Skyway Park, Park-scale, High Fliers territory.
| | Why don't you just do this and stat it up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_paper_race_game |
| Skyway park is a verdant skate park with numerous opportunities to break something. Run on the rooftops of Skyhigh Apartments by an old skater called Hind, who uses it to scout talent for pro-am competitions.
