Yep, unlinked genres are always the best
and keeps the content fresh. (besides, if
a character dies or something, at least
you don't have to explain how the character
miraculously got ressurected if he's active
in a story :)

A De-lurk, eh? Welcome to .castle!

I, myself, never had a chance to join CW or IOM
(partly due to my lack of a digicam at the time.).
Now I kind of resent not joining, but I think
this project might have more potential
magnitude in the long run.

Maybe the site can be nominated for CLSOTW? If
enough castle people email their opinions to
the admins, maybe it would have a chance...

I know .space did their own rendition of the
history page with the Space Crash Course.
For history, speaking of which, a lot of
the original castleworld links and images
of models and stories have slowly
disappeared over the course of time, which
is why I propose launching a small curator
campaign to save these and assemble them
into a castle archive page. (I could
host any old images on my brickshelf account.)

I've been planning to do an animated story
for quite a long time. (at least last year.)
and I still havent started because of several
factors including low budget, lack of pieces
and school.

I believe the MM/Undeseen project will be more
RPG oriented. (ala starship.) Story/ plots will
be constructed along the way by means of
reports. {basically summaries in picture and
text of the player's journey.)
You can find more information here: Under
the subtitle 'What about Reports'.

Yes, suggestions are always needed.
