We had a great crunchy game last night… with lot’s of laughs and a lot of Flight of the Conchords videos during dinner… (Sorry embeding a YouTube Video seems to break the page… to be checked)
As you can see, I switched themes to a darker, less colorful one than the Sci-Fi theme. (To be quite frank, I was a bit bothered by the Chrome Wang in the image… anybody else noticed it?)
Anyhoo, the new theme is based on one called IT-Advance and has been tweaked here and there by our resident Gadget Imperial Guard ve4grm. He also sent me quite a few very clever and cool plugins.
All this gives us a blog with the following features:
- Images have a nice comfortable padding to the left and right now.
- A cool and simple Captcha plugin.
- Readers can now edit their comments!!! (You have 15 minutes to do it)
- Recent comments that ignore pingbacks and trackbacks
- And a lot of little internal thingies that make this here blog run smoother.
I think our good friend ve4 got himself another week on the “Do not kill this minion list“!
The theme will switch again, once Veronica Pare, co-creator and artist of this Webcomic is done creating the new blog’s banner. That baby is going to have a Pulp/Indiana Jones/TonyDiterlizzi feel (Geekout alert….. Weeeeee!!!!).
Then we (I say we but I mean PM and ve4grm… you guys rock to the Nth power) will adapt a theme to the new color schemes that Veronica is going for.
So it’s all good.
See you tomorrow!
Oh, ok...

Oh it was there, believe you me! Insidious Chrome Wangs are the worst!
I liked the picture. I thought it was a nice modern interpretation of Mechanus…
Ahhhh sorry to disappoint Alex… this theme has more functionalities and has less ‘bugs’ than the previous one (like long titles that run off the headers).
But now that you mention it… it was a nice impression of a modern Mechanus… reminds me of

Less bugs, yes. At least less that you’ll ever see.
Less documentation, also yes.
Thanks for the Urban Planescape link, by the way. I had nearly forgotten about that.
Hmm… I wonder if there’s a way to incorporate some of that into my new game…
Urban Planescape d20 World of Darkness?… now THAT I gotta see!
I much prefer this theme. Huzza
