wow, bryan! have you started on your own lego version of this for Castle
World!? it would be a welcome addition! nothing like a bunch of dark elves
running around to keep the foresmen, peasants, and knights on their toes! i
have a character called goblin boy who runs amock, but he can't be
everywhere at once!
later ~ craig~

| (...) No no Craig, the characters I was describing are creations of another author: R. A. Salvatore. :) I was just recommending his books to anybody who is interested in that kind of stuff. I wish I could create such cool characters! :) Bryan (25 years ago, 30-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
