(...) That would be a good way to use up some of those crossbows I've aquired recently. When I start using the ship in my stories, I plan on having "crossbow-gunners" set at stations around the deck. Wilson (24 years ago, 30-May-00, to lugnet.castle)

Nothing major, just a throne (thrones?) for Marck and Cleo... In the pictures you can also see that Marck has a different face... I changed that a few months ago, so it's about time I showed it.

I have a question for everyone interested in Castle World. I've been reading recently about RDP's (Revolving Door Portals) and was wondering if that was decided to be the "official" portal, or if we could make our own portals and have them be (...) (24 years ago, 31-May-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I think you missed out on a good opportunity: give the crystal keeper a trans- green lightsaber blade for a "crystal staff". (You could even stick a lighsaber handle and a gem or Rock Raiders crystal on the top of it.) (24 years ago, 31-May-00, to lugnet.castle)
