Re: Ravens N' Pennies - GURPS Content Posts
A hint to anyone trying to read the blog:
Firefox add-on "Read easily" makes it actually readable by turning off the style sheet as the default style makes reading really difficult being so cluttered with different white elements black background. The contents is nice, but before I found that extension I always had to copy-paste it somewhere else to remove formatting before reading. |

I roll 1d100 for each monster, they get the result worth of moneys, plus often more money or goodies for each of the numbers which seem 'interesting'

I have no issue reading it, so whatever you do, please don't emulate Doug's and make it where I can't read on my phone
Edit - I don't see any backgrounds, I just see white text on black |

As example, looking at a random location on a random page. http://seikkailu.roto.nu/misc/ravenspennies3.jpg Trying to find the link I am confronted with all the following visual elements: http://seikkailu.roto.nu/misc/ravenspennies.jpg On that picture I have tried to circle every white/light grey element as separate thing. (basically something your brain has to process to find what you are looing for) So if you compare the ease of finding the link "GURPS101: Air Spells for Sorcery" in the first one with the "no style sheet" view of the same place http://seikkailu.roto.nu/misc/ravenspennies2.jpg I do not know if that is clear enough description, but the fact of that many elements that look so similar visually is at least for me that I cannot follow the flow of text with comfort. Does that explanation make sense? |

Re: Ravens N' Pennies - GURPS Content Posts
Aye, that makes sense. But the ravens are kind of a motif. I can't really chuck them. I'll see if there is a way to keep the border a fixed length. Sorry this causes you trouble (you're the first), if I get a lot of complaints I might change it, but I'm going to keep it the same (for now).

Re: Ravens N' Pennies - GURPS Content Posts
I appreciate that. I need to point out the metatags to folks too so others can use them. I had a reader email me while I was ill talking about how awesome the new tags feature was I included recently (it's been there since day one). :-)

The other thing blogs often do is use a sans-serif font, which is harder to work around. |

Designer's Notes: The Gryndel Menace
June's Pyramid is out and guess who got the cover? That's right, me! It's always nice to get the cover, but not required. So have some Designer's Notes to go along with today's release including a new inhuman option for those who have today's issue and GURPS Monster Hunters (especially MH5).
