How do you view it?
Here's a question for all of you.
How do you envision CCRP? now, while it is in a "Lego" setting, do you imagine things in terms of bricks and studs or as real life events?
I share the view of the latter. In fact, I don't think I've ever envisioned things as if they were taking place as a Lego landscape.
What about you?

Hmm...good topic!
I envision them mostly in real life, but constricted to LEGO forms. Like, all my characters looks like their minifig alter-ego, but in human shape. (unlike you, Nick, who's character's can't be remade into a minifig)
Bjarn looks like a spry Sean Connery. Lord Void is a sinister combo of Hugo Weaving and Jason Isaacs. Dale is Elijah Wood. The others are harder to parallel with actors, especially the females. Rosa is more of the chick you'd see in action movies as the kung-fu, fast-and-furious action gal, where Shainya would be the soft-spoken housewife in the slow-paced, emotional movies.
All the locations I see in my mind's eye as real places, not made out of LEGO. The large places in particular like Drullen Bell Keep and Orion I see as real places, mostly because there is no way I could contruct them out of my LEGO collection. The smaller locations, however, like Majisto's Workshop, I see both as a LEGO model and a real location.
Ok, whoa, I just realised how much thought I put into this post and the entire CCRP...
Do we all need serious help or what?

I think of it as real live. Its just too complex for any other way. For one thing, a figs face can't show much emotion.

After thinking about it, I know how it can it can be blended together. This is sort of how I visualise it.

Its realistic but undoubtibly LEGO. Because those minifigs can move in ways the real ones can't ect.......

Just about the same for me. Though my problem with seeing it as totally Lego is that I start thinking how funny it looks with short stubby no nose yellow people running around trying to save or conquer their geometrical plat formed world. It just doesn’t seem to have the same draw that it would other wise, but that just my opinion.Formendacil wrote:I honestly don't know which way to vote...
I see them as LEGO in my mind's eye, but in the same mind's eye I see them as real people and places. If I had to pick, I'd say I picture them more as real life, but it's just too difficult to say for sure...

I envision the people and events as real life, but I envision them as the person-equivelant of lego guys. There's no real way to explain it. I envision some of the places or things as lego, especially when I think: "I can built that. I wonder what it would look like?" And the image I think up sticks.

I see them in real life, but in an anime-style. Not really true-to-the animation anime, but a realistic anime. So I guess I could say real life. The LEGO versions are far too limited, so I just choose the torso that fits my imagination best.

I see it as real life normaly but when I imagine a building or structure I see it as Lego.

Now, on to dig up some more old topics. I hope you won´t kill me
i must say that this was a very tough question. I definitely view the characters as minifigs, or "minifigish" anyway. Like minifigs but much more posable and with more emotions.
Locations are harder. I think I view them like Real Life... but with a LEGO feel of it. For example, I imagine Orion as a real medieval city but I think of it as yellow and exactly the "LEGO-yellow". I think I view most structures as kind of LEGOish but landscape I imagine as real landscape.
