Grats to 3000 posts, Lela!

Yeah, I'm happy about that milestone. With all the hecticness going on in my life I've had to cut back on the boards. As a result, my postcount has suffered.

Ask Crothian.

Thanks!

Well, I'd be happy to take over for you, when I get some free time. I'm starting to immerse myself in web programming and it'd be nice to have a live site or two out there.

While I'm generally busy too, at least it'll be me people are hounding and you can focus on the the Story Hour.

(And, from my experience, you're just asking for trouble if you're using FrontPage.)

Lela,

Appreciate it...

This is something I have convinced myself I need to try at least once, then farm out if it is a total disaster ! FrontPage is actually pretty cool...I even took a class on it. I know that "purist" web-designers don't like it, but it makes life much easier for web-idiots like me !

Hey!

Greetings Long-Suffering Faded Glory Fans!

Good news ahead...my schedule has a brief window of opportunity in it to get some SH work done. I am on the road most of the next 2 weeks, but will have some big swaths of downtime with no IP access, forcing me to spend my time massaging the keyboard in a productive manner !

I hope to take great strides in catching the SH up to near the present time...although that may be a tall order!

As an aside, I had a great time running a Grim Tales/3.5 Hybrid at the MD-VA-DC Game Day set in Arthurian Britain. Grim Tales is a great rule set and will likely be the backbone of any future campaigns I run.

Thanks for putting up with my slacker ways and I hope to have an update or two available soonest...

When you get a moment, Old One, could you describe what it is about the Grim rules that makes it so appealing? I've not read them and have only observed from a distance a couple games run under them, but I've heard good (if a bit vague) reviews. What makes Grim work for you?

Oh, I know about the purists. I have one as a teacher ("No, we'll be having you code image maps by hand too, despite this being the beginning class.") I've just run into some serious problems using FrontPage but it's possible that 2003 fixed most of them. I'd suggest Dreamweaver myself.

Either way, if you change your mind, let me know. It's always good to have a live site up, regardless of what it is.

Old One, could you post on the Dispatch board which Grim Tales CBDB you use for which PHB class (in case you didn't do that yet)?

Edit: Link in your sig is broken or the forums ceased to exist.
