Description: Site for the discussion of pen and paper gaming with reviews, interviews, and forum discussions. In March 2010 the site owner upgraded his forum to software version 4.x which required some additional tweaking of board icons and a new logo.

I’ve finalized the site design and layout and am now working steadily to re-enter all my previous content and create the portfolio page and links properly. It’s a pretty time consuming process, since my previous database was shot and I’ve got to do this all manually again.
I decided to redo all the link images for the portfolio page so they would all be in the same format. The web design and graphics sections are complete and next I’ll work on finishing the illustration and colorings sections. I’m still debating on whether or not to have a separate wallpaper section or to include those as part of the illustration. Technically, wallpapers aren’t really illustrations, but they could fit there fairly easily as well. Who knows.
Re-entering all my text content (articles and previous news entries) is going to be easier but take a bit longer yet. I have everything backed up to a Word doc, but it’s 90 pages long at 8pt text and I need to paste everything into notepad first to make sure all the random Word characters are gone before pasting into WordPress. Then I need to redo any formatting such as bold or italics and I’m done.
All-in-all, I think the site is going to be 100% better than it was in previous iterations, so the work is worth it. But thinking about all the work that still needs to be done is tiring as well.
I will be reuploading my files shortly and customizing a theme. Check back again!
