Large personal chambers. 5 bathrooms (or medieval equivalent.). Several guest quarters. living quarters for servants. Kitchen. Armory. Several rooms for antiques such as old armor, paintings, quilts, tapestries. 2-4 rooms for a jail(prisoners and punishment. Not sure how many of those rooms i filles up but that would be ideal for a small castle.

Now, suppose you got zapped back into a medieval world with a vast forest, and in the middle of that forest is a keep. And on top of that, it's all yours! The keep has quite a few rooms, around 30. The question is, what are you going to put in all of these rooms?

Forget that. I'd be too busy screaming "NO NO NOOOOO" after shooting the flying demon's head off. Get those craftsmen to build me a new hand!

Is that a referenct to a movie? I think i recognize it, something something something 3: army of darkness?

So, what are you going to do with all those rooms?

Seems some of the "dark ages/medievely challenged" people responded to this. First of all, To accurately describe how it would look I'd have to draw it and label all the rooms, I may do that later in some free time though. But, just to say some things: Keeps dont have bars and people arn't called "vendors", anyways if they were in your keep they'd give you the drinks, but most likely you jsut had servants get you it. Most of you are forgetting that Keeps arn't that protected from things such as catapults and seige weaponry, so you'd also may want some anti-seige weaponry of your own. You can't have people just barging up to your main gate, so you need a moat and drawbridge along with a portculis (think that's how it's spelt). Feeding your peasants with cheese is very bad, just eating cheese all day, ugh. There were no Hooters back then. You should add some places for recreation like a good sized garden with many trees and plants.have your crafstmen make a throne, for god's sake your rich and have a good amount of land, you need a royal seat to sit upon. Last for now, you are forgetting some interesting little things you could add, have your craftsmen make valuables like a golden crown set with gems and jewels.

The hand creation was from Army of Darkness, the third movie of the Evil Dead series. However, the screaming "NO" part was more a reference to the end of Evil Dead 2, the best movie of the series.

Actually, I think Jotdaniel is the only one so far who has given the type of reply I wanted. I wasn't asking how you would defend your keep or how you would feed the commoners, I was just basically asking, "If you had a big, 30 room house in medieval times, what would you put in it?" Think The Sims, not strategic wargames or fantasy RPG.

Which, as stated earlier, aren't medieval.

Damn right.

This is the Babble forum, so we can all babble with what we want here. Sariat wants hooters, I want weapons. We babble. You babble. We all babble. *end rant of babbleness*

The thing is he said that you were warped back in time to medeivel ages, so there basicly is no such thing as Hooters and the finding of large man eating beasts would be rather hard, and even especailly large to contain it within rooms of a keep without it breaking out. What your basicly saying, is someone who posted about, for example, "if coke and pepsi had a war where they used most of their funds to buy tanks and recruit people to put the other out of buisness, who would win and how?" and someone replied "I like cheese" would be a perfectly good response, I fail to see that.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Inspector #5.

printer is broke, dont have a pipe, and under the age to smoke. Hah!
