Nice contrast in the walls, good use of open spaces from what I can see and I really like the gardening. My only suggestions would be that the "floor" should be a dark color rather than the same grey as the baseplates. Chris Barker (...) (23 years ago, 14-Aug-01, to lugnet.castle.ninja)

Bryan, Sensible comments. I'm not the writer of the story but I do have an opinion. Replies below: (...) This is an accepted method of storytelling. I'm sure there is even a term for it, but I don't know what it is. By bringing a reader/viewer into (...) (23 years ago, 14-Aug-01, to lugnet.castle.org.cw, lugnet.castle.ninja)
