Lidda's just the little cute chick that breaks into stuff, Krusk's the big dude who wears an unacceptable amount of fur and hits things with his axe.  Kids will get the point when they pick up the games.  And there needs to be a TCG, on top of the minis game, and the RPG.  Something that fits in a backpack and can be played over the lunch break or at recess.  --fje</blockquote>
