Hey Crooked Bee , I couldn't find a good early Ultima tileset, so I had to use a more modern, popamole one:

Alternative version (I can't find table graphics):

[Crooked Bee]

Awesome, thanks.

So far I'm using felipepepe's Ultima image and lefthandblack's troll for the Twitter banner and logo respectively: https://twitter.com/RPGCodex

I can't make up my mind yet. I prefer the black cards but you can't really write anything on those.

Hasn't MCA granted the Codex the right to use the troll image? And didn't he use it for that other thing a while back?

 

[Ismaul]

Which combo do you prefer?

Nice work man!

I think the watermark looks bad, makes things less readable. So, the retro without the watermark, and whichever front without the watermark - personally I like the one on the left more.

Also unsure about the +1 trolling thing. Maybe put the Member name in the dark portion, and "title" in the white one? Might have to change dark-white proportions though, or invert the colors so the name reads better than the title...

 

[Crooked Bee]

The progress bar is self-evident to anyone with RPG experience anyway. The +1 thing is just silly/confusing.

I've literally never seen you make a good post. I'd take what you said into consideration if it wasn't you who posted it.

Goddamn.

I think the Twitter banner looks like a mess right now, with all the colors and tiles at the top. (I actually like the image, but it just adds a lot of "noise" there imho). I think one of the troll-"party" images would be better, because of fewer colors.

But then again, I fucking hate Twitter, so this might be how the cool kids want it.

 

[Akratus]

I vote we use Goatse as twitter and facebook banner. It is the most appropriate.

Yeah, it's a bit too colorful which is why I'd prefer an early Ultima look. Still, I take what I get.

The troll mob doesn't really convey the message that this site is actually about oldschool RPGs *gasp* *gasp*. So, I'd take a colorful Ultima tileset over that one any day.

You do have a point that the previous version had less colors and was less distractive, but I can't find that tileset anywhere. :/

Will the winner real names be revealed from paypal info?

I tried to emulate the old color scheme, try this:

The troll mob would be fun if Codex started retweeting my economic-political posts.

Hmm, it looks a bit washed out to me: https://twitter.com/RPGCodex I assume that's because it isn't 1500x500?

 

[Akratus]

But I can walk...

That's what it says, don't it?

 

[felipepepe]

It shouldn't' make any difference... anyway, here's it 1500x500:

 

[Zorba the Hutt]

Looks good... pity the octopus from the original didn't make the cut though

Hmm, I dunno. Looks a bit sharper now I think? Anyway, thx.

Looks like eagle is wearing pants like this.

Which is fitting, I guess.

Just fooling around... Love your effort and work on this...
