I like my bones!
Well skeletons make good dungeon victims, and aren't necessarily animated,
so we can leave them to the realm of reality. Ghosts... Well they are a
bit fantasy, unless you put one of those dastardly forestmen under the
ghostly mantle to scare the castle maidens. I think that the 1980s Castle
line was attempting historical reality, and Dragon Masters brought dragons
and magic to further expand mythology in the line. Good idea from LEGO,
perhaps Harry Potter will bring us more of those creatures from Euro/Greek
mythology.
Play well,
