Amazing how being unemployed can affect how proficient you can become with your Lego creations :) (URL) buildings, new mysteries, and a tie-in to a previous ballad. It's all good! Adrian -- www.brickfrenzy.com (23 years ago, 2-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle.org.cw) !

01, November We're loading the boat for the expedition this afternoon. We set sail for the Isle of Mist with the tide tonight. After all the expeditions Oldric and I have taken, he still has to double check to make sure I brought everything. You (...) (23 years ago, 1-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle.org.cw)

Hey Y'all: Here is another Castle Blacktron teaser (like you care). The following link takes you to a web-optimized gif image of my Ldraw thingy: (URL) differences between this mockup and the real thing are just a few elements: 1. The walking staff (...)

(...) Jeff - you hit the nail right on the head. I'm not really sure what to add to this, but the Isle of Mist can be as big or as small as you want it to be. Every Realm is able to have two giant cities, and the possibilities for interactions are (...) (23 years ago, 1-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle.org.cw)

(...) Actually, there is plenty of stuff to do. :) You could find some ruins or treasure; they could fight some monsters; you could have a spy among your ranks and use that to start an ongoing story, etc. Your guys are on the island to look for (...)

(...) As a matter of fact, Leah took the pictures. She happened to have the teal swords, and I don't have the pieces to make her troops. At least I don't think I do. I know I don't have either of those capes, so that's a problem right there :) On a (...) (23 years ago, 30-Oct-01, to lugnet.castle.org.cw)

(...) How cool :) Now - to humor me - who took the pictures? I know that the teal katanas aren't easy to come by, so I'm GUESSING that Adrian took the pictures, BUT the pictures are on Leah's website, so maybe she took them :) Inconceivable! This is (...)

(...) Thanks! I was considering to build two more galleys so the crew could bring their families. But now they know that when they build a settlement they can send for the others. So, if ships can go back, then that implies that the IOM is a kind of (...) (23 years ago, 30-Oct-01, to lugnet.castle.org.cw)

(...) Without going into such nautical stuff as Knots, chains and fathoms, a sailing ship might reach around 20km/h in good conditions (more or less depending on lots of stuff). A square is around 45km, so it's about 2hrs across by boat. It's about (...) (23 years ago, 30-Oct-01, to lugnet.castle.org.cw)

I see I'm not the only person that had that idea, I see it as though it could be new inhabitants coming to the island as others left or it could just be the ships returning with more provisions to the Isle. I was also wondering how long does (...) (23 years ago, 30-Oct-01, to lugnet.castle.org.cw)

(...) They can go back and forth as much as you would like. In FACT, if someone wanted to ferry passangers from their kingdoms to the Isle, that would be a pretty cool thing to do :) But also remember that if a ship was to go back (via water) to (...)

(...) studied Sun Tsu's "The Art of War", I was very impressed by the set-up of your campground and the laying of the perimeter.
