I'd like to see TLG go back to the idea of having two+ factions in which
neither is as stereotypically "evil" as the Bulls or the Fright Knights.
Something to encourage a little more creative play.

I'm thinking that there'll have to be a smaller keep design at some point.
Maybe the Bulls will get one?  After all, they only have siege equipment so

Why *not* a "Wild West" type line of a medieval structures?  That could be a

I'm afraid that we've probably seen the end of the ninja, though the green
ninjas do spark some hope.  But not much.
