One very small trick I use to make rivers pop is a slight green outer glow (indicative of the vegetation near rivers), with an even tinier pale blue inner glow (less then the width of the river in pixels, mostly just highlights the river visually bu…

I heard some of them don't care. Like at all... About anything! Those are the ones that eat venomous snakes.

I'm lame, I just Google whatever it is that pops into my head and using the first image I like. So no advice on hosting services.

Rejoice, and bask in the chaos and confusion! The All-Spider is most pleased by this.

Aww, that's strangely melancholy. Unless maybe she absorbed/devoured her twin in the womb to gain her powers... human chimera-style. Then its villainous!

Nah, that would be ridiculous.

I must ask... Is it "just" Jess, as in a single name, like Cher or Prince? Or is it "Just" Jess, as in exhibiting the qualities of the cardinal virtue known as Justice; wielding sword and scale from behind the blindfold of impartiality; that c…

Yay, a pun thread! Would you say you're going to improve the site's... OPeration? Is the positive reaction to these changes going to be... OP the charts? I hope fixes are deployed after adequate testing and not with... A roll of the dice. …

Which means... he's able to steal all your GM secrets since its all being processed on his server! I knew there was a nefarious intent! J'accuse!

_- sobs uncontrollably -_ It's funny, I think of myself as a narrative-focused GM but the things I remember as standing out are often more combats that went smoothly or neat gimmicks. Couple examples from a one-shot Middle-Earth adventure I ra…

Alright, enough compliments, where's my Criticism Hat...? # There appear to be several rivers that traverse the continent from sea to sea. Clearer definition of a few drainage basins and or continental divides would be beneficial (avoid having ri…

RE: China Someone may have already mentioned this... They are going to have a lot of internal economic and demographic pressures in the next few decades, due to: 1) 36 years of the One-Child policy, so they are going to have one of the worst i…

bq. FYI, to add to the points above, there are also plans to have the ability to use OP in some “offline” capacity, especially for those who’re in an area (eg basement or rural areas) with less 3g/4g/wifi access. What kind of barbarians are infil…

I know you meant Belrathius, but I'll chime in anyway. Belrathius last logged in in December, so likely hasn't seen the latest work. Until his next visit, we'd likely have to rely on an admin to update these.

bq. maybe call it post-post-Perovskite? "P3 superconductors"? There's a good chance you've already seen this, but if you're looking for some interesting discussion of a variety of Sci-Fi topics from the more "hard science" end of the spectrum,…
