You could for instance have a skeletal horseman with a lance, just not

Binding in chains does make sense, and has a devine overtone, as it was

In game terms however, I don't see how this would work in an action
sense, though it

Absolutely. That's why I've been thinking off and on of doing a good

Hi Dark,
Well, actually what happened is they placed Elizabeth Bathory in a room
and walled her up in there. The reason they did that is because everyone
believed she was responsible for the death of several young women in the

There are several origin myths about Lilith, and yes one of them

Hi Tom.
I do remember hereing some history of Elizabeth Bathory before which tallies

these lines.
It strikes me very much like the tale of Jack the ripper, good fiction,
even if the facts are a trifle dodgy.

Hi Al,
When you come up with a game idea, story line, etc then contract with a
developer to create the game there are two copyrights involved with the

retain the original copyright ownership of your ideas and original

Oh, I wasn't talking about what the end users would think of a complex
