Your writing style, the choice of topics you discuss, and the overall look and feel of the blog and it's contents (like the wizard robot), create a feeling of youthful (but not necessarily immature or sophomoric) excitement for the hobby of role-playing games. <BR/><BR/>To me, the illo you have posted up right now fits that theme perfectly.Jack Badelairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10932441028544500024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-74959726605427240802009-01-26T07:17:00.000-06:002009-01-26T07:17:00.000-06:00The pink one looks like the kid's nose is about to...The pink one looks like the kid's nose is about to drip onto the board.

You chose well, jeff :)<BR/><BR/>(It's the honest-to-gosh truth that the core regreat I have about my decade of slaving in the RPG salt-mines, pre-liberation, is never doing enough spot-ink projects ... my very first book was both spot-inked and had a Holloway cover, so I took it as a good omen, but things never panned out that way, because the 90's started happening and there was nothing I could do to stop them) :(S.

But either way, I would clip them down into a banner about 1/3 the height of the Geomorphs image.
