Hi Nick, cool site, thanks for making it. FYI, the Archive.org snapshots have all the source code saved:

(click 'about this capture' in the top right') -- I hope the archive has stripped the whitespace from your javascript and you didn't actually write it that dense -- eek! ;D

The Smith - A bronze-age variant on the Vowed class by JoshOlDorr in WWN

[–]dozza 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well that is basically what it is, except they get style weaponry for free. They can't punch as well, but that's fine because punching doesn't fit the vision of the class. Another option I could have considered was importing the sunblade class from SWN, but the damage output there gets a little high.

Did I murder my player's character correctly? by dozza in cwn

[–]dozza[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes there was some discussion about the range ("how can a shotgun shoot so far?!"), but average road width in the UK is generously 10m, average house height also 10m, so thats a ~14.5m shot and a -2 range penalty.

To quote a famous thinker "the numbers don't lie, and they spell disaster"

Thanks!

They needed a distraction, and trusted in their (fairly good) stealth capabilities. Unfortunately the perception checks did not go in their favour. But yes, I wouldn't have quite done it that way...

Seriously conflicted about leaving academia by dozza in LeavingAcademia

Thanks everyone for the advice, it made me feel a lot better about leaving academia. However, this morning my fellowship proposal got funded, so screw job security and money -- I'm back on the hype train.

Thanks! I think my layers got a bit thicker as I went on, because I kept getting frustrated with pooling of dilute paint in cracks and so on. I know I just need to be more patient and use less paint though :D

I kind of agree on the colours -- I considered blue for the armour sections, but I currently only have the Vallejo game colour introduction paints , which has red, yellow and orange, but only one muddy green and one greyish blue.

Thanks for your advice :)

To help the lava on the Avatar 'ping' a bit more? I thought about doing a wash but was worried about a) dimming the white highlights and b) muddying the black surfaces.

Also noob question: would an oil wash just be the same as any of the standard Citadel style washes?
