So I'm prooving further my rampant geekiness...
Aparently, designing two universes, building deities and histories, designing cultures, creating a language, desigining a map of a world using an Excel Spreadsheet, writing up hundreds of pages of text for a tabletop rpg, rendering a 3d model of a cosmology detailing how the dimensions work together for another world, playing WoW constantly, and creating myself as a WoD character are not sufficient examples of my geekiness.
So I am starting a new project.
I have laid out the floor plan for a castle, nay fortress. With companion outbuildings on the rock upon which it is built, it will be a sum total of 1200 feet by 1200 feet square. A sum total of 15 stories in height. Anyone willing to build such a monstrosity deserves a medal, and probably a raise.
However I will not be building said fortress in all of its majesty. Despite creating it in Excel at a 1 cell to five feet ratio so that I might use it in an upcoming D&D game, I will not be building it full scale in reality. However, I will be building, out of wood, sweat, and blood, a scale model of said fortress... of DOOM. At a ratio of one inch to every ten feet I will end up with a scale model aprox. ten foot by ten foot square. And roughly three feet tall.
Why am I building this monstrosity?
Two reasons.
One, it will be useful in my upcoming D&D game, and therefor worthwhile.
Two, I want to build it as an outlet for my creativity, and to prove that I can do it.
It's okay, you can say it, I'm a geek.
