Hello again Hardhead, thanks for the kind words. Actually the map was done using a freeware program called GIMP. In creating the map, I made heavy use of a tutorial posted by Ascension (a member of the Cartogropher's Guild). Ascension originally …

One stylistic comment I have is that the aged parchment backgrounds displayed in your adventure logs section seems a bit incongruous with the overall dark cybernetic ambiance of the rest of your site. Other than that, its looking really good Jim.

Not sure. I was under the impression that "AD&D" just was "2nd ed". If it is not, than I'm afraid I don't really know what to tell you.
