Eh, did you read? That was the first draft script, not the finished product. its
going to have to be tested alot too.

That would simplyfy things up, yeah. I was thinking that if you stil wanted to
use that character..,

Yeah, and only good things happened and you had total control over everything.
the total control prospect is SUPPOST to be eliminated. sure you have control
somewhat but the main point is is that you cant just deside how everything will
happen.
CastleQuest relies heavily on a GM to control the game.
Er, yeah. it would be totally pointless if there was no GM. The GM controls what
you encounter.

As i said, that is a first draft script. its SUPPOST to be a story/game. What do
you propose? Ditch CQ and start over? thats pretty similer to re-inventing the
wheel too. We have CQ to modify on etc, so why start a new thing? and i never
said this was suppost to be totally simple-minded.
