Richard,
Glad to hear Castle World is getting back on it's feet again.
As always, I'll be glad to help in any way I can. Also, is the new site to
be hosted on Geocities? I know from Anthony Sava's (and other's) past gripes
about Geocities with their bandwith regulations and stuff, so maybe a new
host would be a good idea?
If you need anything, just e-mail me at: tuxedomask1083@hotmail.com
I'll be sending some of my characters and such once you get things up and
running, I can't wait! heheh
