So I was working on my current campaign's website and decided to go from a rather drab black and white parchment look to a much more colorful neon scheme. I still have some pages and characters that haven't been updated with the new look but I am cranking through it as fast as I can. I would love to get some feedback on the new look. Any thoughts, criticisms or general opinions are welcome!

I like the new look. Alot.
So...you prefer DFA over DFRPG?
Thanks. And I do! I most definitely like it more. It is far easier to prep scenarios for and allows the players a ton more latitude in their actions.

Thanks Bortas and Twiggeyleaf. It has been a ton of work changing over to the new art style but I think it has been worth it. I got to engage with old logs and characters and reinvent them. It will pay dividends down the line for the players as well as myself. :D

HumAnnoyd, this might not be the place to ask, so if you prefer, reply in a PM, but I'm really curious about the play differenced between DFRPG and DFA. Specifically the Magic systems. I was looking through DFA and only saw ritual magic. So, I could use some enlightenment form someon who has run boht, if you dont mind
Hey, Keryth. Happy to help. The play between the two games is really quite different. In DFRPG you would have to make a control roll based on the effect you were trying to achieve. This largely depended on what choices you made with your spell caster character and how you chose to specialize. I found it quite limiting in many ways as my Wizard character just stuck to using Spirit magic (by far his most powerful of the elements) and there was very little variety for me. With DFA that is no longer the case. I am using Earth magic to cause opponents to trip, burning through walls with Fire magic, freezing opponents with Water magic and knocking them on their butts with Air magic. It really is sooooOOOoooooo much easier to play a Wizard in DFA without all the fiddly bits of DFRPG. Don't mistake me though. While I am completely taken with DFA I still love DFRPG and would continue to play it if we hadn't all decided to transition. But overall DFA is a better fit for my tastes.

What I dont get though is the mechanics of spellcasting in DFA. Didnt really see anything on Evocation at all...
Basically you pick your element and your approach and cast a spell. It is all very simplified but much easier to deal with. The main benefit of spells over mundane acts is they operate on the Supernatural Scale. Plus you can enhance your magic with the Exhausted and Burned Out conditions which makes a wizard quite potent. The rules for it all are on page 140.

Why didn't anyone tell me we can use animated GIFs for the campaign background before now? I have been working hard at redoing almost all the art (over 200 images) on the Emerald City: Requiem site and just added the GIF. Any suggestions or critique is welcome!
