I do like this idea, the reports I mean.

I'm not saying that anything is being stolen, only suggesting that we try to
be original with our ideas. Not that we haven't been somewhat. Yes, other
RPGs use similar ideas too, not just D&D. But D&D is known for using a set
of stats similar to those being discussed, as well as being a game that
includes a fair amount of "hack and slash" combat, also similar to what has
been discussed. I just think this game could have so much more potential if
newcomers weren't turned off by saying, "Isn't this just D&D with minifigs?"

I think with the MM and possible settlement construction that there is a lot
of potential for using the brick in this game. Again, my point was to serve
as a reminder not to lose that focus. Not that anyone was losing that
focus, but it is good to put the idea out there in so many words so
newcomers get the idea that this is a game for fans of the brick.

It's okay my friend. I didn't mean to offend. I was just following along
with the subject line of this thread. I was under the impression that we
were all brainstorming ideas that could then be discussed and debated for a
potential future as-of-yet undefined Lego Castle related RPG online. I
didn't realize that you already have ideas like AP set in stone on several
pages on your site. It really is semantics I guess, so AP is fine with me,
if we (we meaning the communal group developing the game) agree to it.
...Or am I misundertanding the reason for this thread?
