Jeff - everything you said is dead on (since we *WERE* at your house at the
time). Let me just add a thing or two:
Nathan and I got lost on our way back from Arlington and took that time to talk
about Castle World. We both agreed that in theory it's cool, but there are some
things keeping us from how it SHOULD be. Namely - we didn't want to restrict
the freedom that people had with their kingdoms.
So then we came up with the America model (as you said Jeff). People traveled
to America for different reasons, and both the French and British still stayed
fairly independent of their colonies - that's how we wanted to set up our
new land.
The idea for the island format came because it just made sense - everything is
bound by water anyhow - somethings just more so than others. The Mist was just
a device we used to keep people from exploring ... I'm not sure exactly how that
came around. Can anyone that was there that night remind me?
Now ... here are some givens:
1) Craig was not there that night when all the drafts were drawn up.
2) I have never dabbled in Warhammer ... maybe some of the other people
have, but I doubt it.
3) Everything else that was mentioned happens in any good adventure :)
So bottom line - have fun and try not to over-analyze :) We will gladly answer
your questions if you still have some though ...
