New look!

October 21, 2007 by The Chatty DM

Image Source: Me, Simpsonize me and The Gimp

Hot on the heels of Dr Rotwang’s sexy robotic revamp and similar makeovers over at Critical-Hits, Dungeonmastering and Treasure Tables, I decided to leave behind Blogger’s default header and go with a more personal touch.

With a mug shot, the Simpsonize me site and a lot of help from PM’s Photoshoppery and HTML tampering skills I must say I really like the results.

Thanks PM! I really appreciate this! To say that it all started with him commenting on an image he was creating to accompany a future Guest post…

Okay, stay tuned for the DM log later today. I also have quite a few treats planned this week:

Yan’s Player Journal, a post on starting a D&D games with new RPG players, The second installment of the Emotionally Smart DM, another Trope post and possibly 2 Adventure prep posts.

    Looks good!

    Though you and me will have to have some talks about grapple… ๐Ÿ™‚

    Thanks Dave…

    The Grapple is a marketing ploy called ‘Comment Baiting’. PM has tweaked this bubble to allow chageable Quotes…

    Since I made him a contributor of the Blog, I’m toying with the idea of letting him control what goes in it… ๐Ÿ™‚

    Earlier today it was ‘My Wife shot Gygax’ which, oddly enough, wifey nixed….

    Yeah, I can’t for the life of me remember where I got that idea? ๐Ÿ™‚

    They say immitation is the best form of flattery!

    See you Friday mate!
