New Banner and NavBar

Brent — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 22:23:08 +0000

I’ve now set up the new banner at the top of the page. Because of the height of the banner, it looked a little strange with such large blank bars on each side of the banner, so I set it up to be centered but to repeat parts of the banner to the side. Let me know what you think of this and if you think having the blank space would be better. Of course how it looks will depend on the width of your moniter and the resolution you are set to.

I also set up a WebRing NavBar using the new banner. It is quite abit larger than the old one, hopefully it doesn’t cause any problems. If need be, I could shrink it down a little more. Currently it is 75% of the size of the banner itself.

I also added in all the pdf’s that the Guild Companion has added to RPGNow over the last month and a half.
One product in particular may be of interest, and that is HARP SF XTreme, as it is a new release rather than a re-release of an older product. I’ll do up an individual post about it when it becomes available as a POD (Print On Demand) product.

New Banner Preview

Here is a sneak peak of the new banner that I’m going to switch to for the ICE RPG Webring in the near future.
It was designed by Raymond Gaustadnes, you can check out more of his work at digitalartwork.no

Redirecting old pages

Brent — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 04:28:13 +0000

I’ve put in redirects for the First Edition MERP pages, which means that any sites that have a link to the old individual pages will be forwarded to the correct new page that is built from the database.
I’ve also done the Rolemaster First Edition, Rolemaster Second Edition, and Rolemaster Fantasy Roleplaying pages.
Anyone that does have direct links to the old pages should update their links to point to the new pages as at some point in the future I will be completely removing those old pages.

Recent Releases Sidebar

Brent — Sun, 14 Aug 2011 02:27:19 +0000

Added a new section to the left hand side bar which shows the most recent releases, including a link to be able to purchase them from RPGNow. Also added a “Buy” link in the product lists for those items that can be purchased on RPGNow, which is currently the only place to buy new ICE products.

Guild Companion PDF Updates

Brent — Sun, 31 Jul 2011 05:37:54 +0000

I now have 48 of the 51 products that are currently available from the Guild Companion at RPGNow.com entered into the database. Unfortunately I’m not sure which three I’m missing, I’ll have to compare my list to what is listed on RPGNow to see what I skipped.
Also updated some of the Spacemaster pages to be in the database.
I’m also considering adding a page or side column that shows the most recently added items.

RMFRP and HARP

Brent — Sat, 23 Jul 2011 22:39:09 +0000

I’ve now converted the rest of the HARP pages, the RMFRP pages and a few other stray items over to the database.
The pages that still need to be done are the Middle Earth/Tolkien Quest books, the Miscellaneous ICE Products, the Silent Death products, the Spacemaster books and the Translations.
There are also several products that still don’t have detail pages scattered amoung the various lists, mostly the smaller pdfs.

Guild Companion PDFs added

Brent — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 02:01:27 +0000

Added the recent Guild Companion Re-releases of some of the Rolemaster and Shadow World pdfs to the appropriate product pages.
Something new with these updates is that they were done using a Visual C# / ADO.NET program which I wrote using my recently aquired skills in those products. It makes doing edits and updates much easier, particularly for products that are just different versions of existing items.

Updates

Brent — Mon, 25 Apr 2011 23:56:41 +0000

Updated the site to the latest version of WordPress, 3.1.1. Also when through the Links section and removed a couple of dead links and updated a couple other links.

Rescue in Mirkwood

Brent — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 23:02:52 +0000

Updated the information for the Middle-Earth Quest “Rescue In Mirkwood” book, converting it to a database driven page and updated the cover image

Shadow World Pages and RMSS pages updated

Brent — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 20:34:39 +0000

I’ve now finished converting the Shadow World product pages and the Rolemaster Standard System product pages over to the database, fixing a few incorrect links along the way.
