Hand Made Hobbit Hole "absorbed, immersed, obsessed"

Since attending the FITC panel "Storytelling: Absorbed, Immersed, Obsessed" on immersive design, that title has been rumbling around in my thoughts as the perfect expression of the kind of creative engagement digital storytelling requires. Yet, as someone whose background is literary, I am also very aware that that kind of attention is also something that has existed in the epic tales of storytellers going back millenia. And having just found this site (props Hive Media), the current attention on world building is beautifully paralled in this recreation of Bilbo Baggins' Bag End.

I love this with a full-on nostalgic return to childhood and the multiple times I read Tolkien's Middle Earth series.
