I never knew Lord British was a scadian. I've respect for him as a fellow game developer, but didn't know he was also a Scadian too. Makes sense on his development o the Ultima series

30 mil to go to the space station, must be nice to have money to burn.

Actually, many of his original characters for Ultima were based on many fellow members of our Barony (Bryn Gwlad in Ansteorra). Master Iolo for one, and his wife (now departed) Gwen....or as she was known to many of us Dona Gwenno.

Richard also used to have a massive haunted house at his personal home for years until it got too big to do there anymore. It was pretty dang cool.

Found this and thought I'd toss it out there. Reading some of these names was kind of like "old home week". I knew several of these people personally and they were a lot of fun.

Don Shamino was a pretty quick blade from what I remember. Many of his characters were some of the original 13 Dons/White Scarves (masters of fencing) in Ansteorra.

Don Christian Dupre (also a Master and a Knight)
Don Dominic Sentri
Don Iolo (also a Master as previously mentioned)
Dona Gwenno (also a Mistres of the Laurel)
Don Eule von Hagenbald - called Avatar (also a Master now I believe)
Jaana was a lot of fun and was Cadet to Iolo when I first moved there.

Ahhh... the heady days then! : )
