A man's home is truly his castle

Post by gideon_thorne »

Just thought I'd share this cause this is a truly cool design. Might inspire a game or two:

In Lexington, KY theres a castle thats been there for quite a while. I'll have to post a pic of it. Its always cool to be driving down the road and look over and see a castle just chillin in the distance. I've always wanted to try to storm its walls and pillage.

Very cool and probably fun to do if you had the money. But 20 years??

Not bloody likely, eh.

I am impressed.

The only thing about the 20 years is that by the time it'd be done, I'd be too dang old to enjoy it. Well maybe not too old, but dang. I guess the patience thing would factor in...and the fact I'd be too dang lazy to do it myself.

I'd call up my Mason buddies and get that thing up in a week. But, I also wouldn't build it in Kally-four-nee-ya, either. I got my eye on something better...

That is cool though. I think living in a castle during my later years would be great!

Strange that the below castle doesn't inspire FRPG players...

It would make a great evil stronghold for the party to completely annihilate with no guilt whatsoever!

I preferred the Universal parks. So, I will go back and skip the Disney stuff.

Your first sentence made me laugh, though.
