The grounds are stunning, and have finally matured into having really pretty gardens and growing things. And they keep expanding. TRF is unable to get bigger, as far as I know.I do get some inspiration from Renn Fairs, mostly in how to describe things. The glassblower, the printing press, the swordsmith at work, are all fascinating. And look at how a WALKING community is arranged. Even though it is a "planned" town rather than one that grew organically, you can get an idea for how tight and condensed town life would really be. Just imagine that people really are LIVING full time in the back/upstairs of those buildings, and you've got  a real medieval type town.</blockquote>
