    Default It is good to find a group that loves maps!

    My profile says most everything.

    I am in the process of learning a 3D package (open source) called Blender to try and create this small kingdom, actually queen-dom, that's been in my head for close to 40 years.

    I love studying old maps and decorate my home office with them and lighthouses; both kind of have the same purpose.

    I absolutely love fantasy and though VERY old, I have a fairly active mind and imagination.

    I play MMOs with my adult kids to help keep connected and hey, they always need a healer which I almost always play.

    I look forward to meeting everyone and rendering assistance if ever needed whether it is a second set of eyes, naming ideas or figuring out some strange section of coastline.
