I don't recall; has there ever been (or discussed) some sort of Castle theme contest? I haven't been following along with Castleworld's progression, but I thought some sort of contest might generate further interest. There seems to be a lot of (...)

(...) Actually, I read somewhere that Sleipner was actually butchered by Square. The Odin Statue that was released supposedly has scars where the other two legs should be. ;) I kinda doubt the veracity of the story myself. I may have to try to find (...)

(...) True, but it *is* a cave. :) I just thought it was a tad bright in there. :) (...) If you do reshoot the old stories, I'd suggest using the old forms for the elementals.

(...) Yeah, I did a little research on Odin before I did my story and I thought it would be weird to mention Sleipner in the story, only having a four-legged lego horse, so I just wrote "steed" instead. On that note, I think it would be awesome if (...) (24 years ago, 2-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle.org.cw)

The best pic from the whole story had to be Crystal Shards...very action oriented; pictures in motion, as it were. :-) All the spells were very cool; I like how Odin was represented. Too bad (...)
