Thanks, LeSong! :wink: I love perfecting things, so this is very helpful. Your example about the tapestries flows much better, and indeed the word "square" should appear in place of the word "case". I think the original intent PaSquall had was indeed to make the upper left corner...

I thought it was a complex and excellent plot...definitely a unique look at things that fit the genre without being typical...and this is bad? Of course not!!!

You're in for a real treat. The movie gives me the sensation of "peeping in on" a child's nightmare. Bizarre, atmospheric, and totally creepy. I hope you enjoy it. Oh, my name appears in the credits.

Varl, I may have to give Mercola another verbal beating. :twisted: He's in the suburbs here, just outside Chicago. Like I said, his website is a fantastic resource for health topics, but he is arrogant and a shameless self-promoter with a shit-poor site admin. Check this example. He once had an exce...

LeSong, DVD Empire has it for $14.56 and DVD Pacific has it for just $11.48. Both in stock, though DVD Pacific is running low. If you get it, LMK. I want to send you a copy of the old version on VHS so you can see what fans have had to settle for, for decades. You'll see why we all lost our minds wh...

Varl wrote: That Mercola page requires signup, Mira. No thanks, not interested. Mercola is requiring sign-ups on his site now? I gotta slap that man. He provides a valuable service (if you want the truth on just about anything health related, he has one of the finest resources online), but his self-...

I got the note from Zherbus, but I can't seem to duplicate any of those problems using Acrobat 6. Except of course for the old BIP link, which we have to wait to change when I get the main site up.

Screw Foxit. Don't even recommend it. I just installed it and it's what I refer to as a FPOS program (short for "fucking piece of shit"). All those problems that Premier was talking about on DF occurred when I opened it in Foxit PDF Reader. When using Adobe Reader 6.0, there are no problem...

Ah, I noticed that Premier at DF was having problems with Acrobat Reader 5. I think that's the problem because I have version 6, and while it does give me a pop up warning me that it might not load correctly, it definitely does load fine. The blank space after the Notes is intentionally left blank a...

I have an older version of Adobe Reader and it seems to work fine with that. Is anyone having a problem with opening it? I know there's a program called Foxit Reader that's free and works with pdfs. I suppose we could offer it in its original Word format if anyone wants it that way. It's just that t...

Now I'm really confused.

When it says "size 16" on the forum, that's 16 pixels and not 16 pt.?

In that case, we need to go by the pizel size when sizing the forum fonts?

Well this is freaky. The "default" text size is not one of the font sizes listed in the drop down menu. It's actually defaulted at size 16. :shock: In other words, if you post without choosing a font size, it places it at 16. Weird. I changed the font settings in the admin panel, but to no...

Unther...if that's the case, could you copy the New Posts (green), Sticky (blue), and Announcement (yellow) icons and make them pulsate?

I set the threshhold for "popular" posts at 1,000, so we won't have to deal with that nonsense. The locked posts can remain the same.

I'm just tweaking some color settings, and I think this might be a good idea... For the little circle buttons that tell you if there are new posts, I'm thinking of making the "No New Posts" a gray/black color. Then "New Posts" would remain bright green. Locked threads would remai...

Well folks, here it is! The first official adventure module of the Back In Print Project ... CAVES OF SYDWALL You can left click on the link above and it will open a pdf file in your browser (if your browser is set to do that), or you can right click and then click "save as", to save it t...

Shhhh! I was going to simply lynch a clone and no one would know the difference!

It's copyrighted, but so was the old one.

Ok, I wanted to change the BIP main site to better match the forums and give it a more elegant look. So, here's a screen cap of something I threw together that I think looks pretty cool. :wink: http://www.undermountain.org/new-bip-background-test.jpg It incorporates the main parchment background of ...

Whew! I transferred and updated a lot of posts this morning!

Got some good writing done for some of the projects too! It's getting off to a great start for a productive weekend!

Most of you remember, no doubt, the various Complete Player Handbooks (PHBR Series) for 2nd Edition AD&D...the Complete Fighter Handbook, the Complete Druid's Handbook, etc. Then there were some DMGR Series (DM Reference) books like The Complete Book of Necromancers. Generalist wizards got thei...

Well, some great news to report! Traveller just sent me the latest refinement of the pdf for Caves of Sydwall , the first official BIP adventure module, and it looks freakin' fantastic! :D Everyone has done such fantastic work. PaSquall wrote up a really fun adventure (I am playing it now and takin...

This is a tentative preview shot of the cover to the Curse of Lemora adventure module! http://www.undermountain.org/curse-smoke-preview1.jpg It was originally posted on the old BIP forums, and there will be some changes made (like adding the word "Project" to the banner, etc). But that's g...

Recently, I decided to go ahead and develop an adventure called The Curse of Lemora , based on a movie called Lemora, A Child's Tale of the Supernatural . It's perhaps my favorite movie of all time - an obscure, low-budget 70's movie that few people around me seem to remember. For almost 30 years, ...
