    Help me choose my cover

    That's a very, very good point. I need to look at them in a wall of other images to see how they stand out. Thank you!

    Help me choose my cover

    That's an excellent point, both about using the clock and about the theme of the covers. I'm playing around with putting a clock in the background of the "eye" cover but it look a little busy. Not sure if it's going to work. It's funny - I had a friend say the "eye" cover is "feminine" and the...

    Help me choose my cover

    Thank you very much for the feedback on the blurb. It definitely needs work and I will use some of your ideas for sure. Much appreciated!

    Help me choose my cover

    I resized the artwork quickly because the original is much larger - and yes much higher resolution and cleaner. I do however like the idea of adding some texture to the background and fonts. My original thought had been a black background, but with the red it definitely needs something. I...

    Help me choose my cover

    So I'm putting out my first novel in the very near future. Working with a budget of less than $0, I turned to fiverr.com to find a designer to do the cover art. I'm not looking to discuss the merits or drawbacks of such an arrangement, that's just what I've decided to do in this case. I sent...

    I need idea help

    What if the runes were polished gemstone embedded in the rock? It might work well with the theme of the covers (I really like the metal bands in the third book). Alternately, if the symbol is an "Air" symbol, what if the markings were actually hollow and looked through the stone - into sky...

    What's your favorite race to play as?

    In my version of the Splatter-Elf RPG, elves are deplorable, intolerant, arrogant monsters, but not entirely without reason. They are better, stronger, faster and smarter than most of the other races in the world, but their arrogance and pride have made them no friends or allies. After a long...

    What's your favorite race to play as?

    This. Every RPG I've ever played is stuffed to the gills with elves. I prefer to play humans (from a table-top perspective) because they provide more options. Elves and most other races always fall into certain tropes or anti-tropes. Just like in the real world, humans tend to be more varied...

    How is it that no one has mentioned this one?

    Greetings!

    Wait, that wasn't in the brochure! Welcome to Bangladeath. I'm also new, so my welcome has less weight than others, but it's good to see you all the same. ;)

    Splatter-Elf the RPG

    Hey neat - I'm discovering people talking about me and my work completely independently and without my knowledge (Hopefully they will always be so positive and polite about it!) I've actually had more people approach me about the game, asking for further info so they could try to play it...

    Good morning, campers.

    Thanks for the plug, Philip. Someday I hope to be as cool as you.
