re: #67 klys (maker of Silmarils)

I like the idea of coastal WA but tsunamis aren’t really my thing, so it’d need to be a decent size cliff, but then we need to be far enough back that we’re not worried about rockslides or the cliff falling in. Meanwhile, mountains are nice until you start evaluating the possibilities of landslides and/or creek flooding (if you’re lucky enough to be by a creek) and then there’s the consideration of defensible space and how likely are large wildfires that would render efforts at defensible space minimal.

Really, it’s all about picking the poison intelligently and then designing as best as possible to minimize the chances of dying to it.

The curse of being educated and observant. It rules out so many lines of action.
