Well, thanks for the head up, but most KoDP players would have already known how he looks. Psst, its in the FAQ, almost at the bottom, showing his lovely soulmate Elise too. Along with Greg, Stefano, Stan etc. Or just play the easter egg Opal game to get their smug looks hehe. Anyway, anyone notice any special occurences in the opal game that ain't available in the main saga? I didn't and couldn't find anything worth mentioning. Please share your experiences.

Very glad to see our favourite game getting indecent exposure. Grr wait till I got hold of ya, Thanahart will be proud of my torturous methods improvement. You are such a tease hehe.

I am very sure that half, if not more than that, of those links in the reviews gallery has gone to some forgotten godplane. http://www.a-sharp.com/kodp/reviews.html - most of them are gone, guess never to return.

I have never seen him in real life or a picture of him somewhere. There is only an email address of his on KoDP webpage. I assume him to be unshaven and moody looking, just like how Stefano, Stan, Greg. But hey, ain't all those artists looks the same? _at_,-p

Aye, but we only know few of those that had been revealed. Without showing their real name under their individual picture, we can only guess as much. I know about the 7 initial ring members, and Robin that shows up soon enough.
