That actually might work to learn who we are talking to straight away. It's pretty clear what the tendencies of gamers are based on their top 5 modules or so. But then, what happens to the complete newbies who happens to share our tendencies but has never ever seen a copy of S2 or T1 or whatnot in his entire lifetime?Ecthelion wrote:I strongly recommend placing a sticky thread somewhere where each member could make one post (which could be subsequently edited) in which they listed their favourite modules/supplements, fantasy authors and so on.
This is the kind of thing you can see on audiophile forums where people post their equipment in a sticky so people can see where they are coming from with their likes and dislikes.

My suggestion:
Make the dark theme the default!!!
I feel like the absurdly ugly default theme likely scares people away.
Also, the rather old "Pardon the mess. We're tidying..." banner could be updated.

That would get cluttered with non-posting members after a few years.Ecthelion wrote:I strongly recommend placing a sticky thread somewhere where each member could make one post (which could be subsequently edited) in which they listed their favourite modules/supplements, fantasy authors and so on.
I would prefer people stick a link in their signature to a list of favorites if they were so inclined.

Across the top, I'd like a return of the black and white tavern art from page 101 of the DMG. Coincidentally, there is a tavern image on page 101 of the PHB as well. The DMG pic rules though - really fits this place.

Moreover, we could put someone (gosh, I don't really want to volunteer) to fixing up a custom theme like we used to have.Chainsaw wrote:Across the top, I'd like a return of the black and white tavern art from page 101 of the DMG.

I know, that was my alternate for the original, with a greater contrast to blend with a black scheme and a cleaned-up, less pixelized font.

I still have the PSD file by the way so, if you want me to play with it again and offer some variants and whatnot, I can totally do it with minimal work involved.

Yeah, why not go even bigger? Something like:
But we should try to find the correct font. Anyone know?
