hello, all ~ well, CW is on my mind 24 hours a day, and i'm working on it about 4-5 hours a day! it would be more if i didn't have two other (paying) jobs. i'm truly loving every mind-boggling minute of it! the mapping and storytelling systems are (...) (24 years ago, 30-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)

Hi Craig! Like you, I'm also constantly thinking of CW stuff and what I can do to help it. I like your ideas about Ballads and Balladeers. Duets and such will be really cool! About the realm point, let me get this straight - My realm will be (...) (24 years ago, 31-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) thanks for your great responses, shiri. you are an excellent sounding board for ideas! you are right, shiri! this (what i wrote) isn't the best way to to organize things. signature characters should remain just that; the character each (...) (24 years ago, 5-Feb-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) LOL! I'm glad to oblige ;-) (...) OK, that I can relate to. My realm could be "the Lion Kingdom/realm"- but I fear that'll be a way too common name ;-) I might have to change it. I have a special bond with Scar, I guess - she caused me to (...) (24 years ago, 5-Feb-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) In keeping with the musical theme, it could be their 'repertoire' (but that sounds more like a collection of their stories/ballads/song cycles). J (24 years ago, 5-Feb-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Yeah, it does sound more like the collection of the stuff they said than the places they said them. Hey, how about calling them PODs? (stands for "Places Of Distribution". Sounds sorta cute... "Shiri's POD", "Jeff's POD"... LMKWYT, -Shiri (URL) (24 years ago, 5-Feb-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) at it's simplest, they could be called (for example) the "Realms of Jeff Johnston". this list would only be seen in the Balladeers section, anyway, and the realms on the map would still appear as individual places. eventually, we can use music (...) (24 years ago, 5-Feb-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I'd like to see a "Castle World Grimoire" section on the website, to document people's spells and magic items. That would be a nice way to document all available spells and items available for people to use. Guess I'll have to get working on (...) (24 years ago, 6-Feb-00, to lugnet.castle)
