I said I'd get them up later this week, but HTMLizing text docs is so fast
they're done tonight. So, hot off the press, so to speak:
http://wind.prohosting.com/~warbard/sg2kravak.html
I basically preserved the layout and format of David's Word doc; it should be
easy to follow. David, if you want any changes, please let me know. Note that
I did correct the spelling of 'armour' throughout!
I've only skimmed the rules while HTMLing them, so I'll hold off actual
comments until I've read them properly, but they look pretty good. I like the
Sha'Na mechanism, and the revised confidence levels look good and alien!

I get a blank green page using Netscape :-(
Works in Explorer tho' - you might have a table that's not closed
properly or something similar.

Just a design nit: Brian will want to increase the contrast between both
the white body text and the tan background for readability, and the blue
sidebar text is blending into its background - it's also too close in
color to the image above the sidebar. Add a bit of a border to seperate
the 3rd-level links )House Rules, 15mm SF, etc) and its pretty darn
perfect.

Nope, I can't get it in Netscape. Weirdness abounds.

Soirry, I meant I couldn't get it in Explorer. But now I can. I stand by my
wierdness comment though.

I'll check the coding when I get home later tonight. It sounds like I left a
table tag open somewhere.
I'm also still tweaking the appearance of the site's 'new look', so I'll play
with other text & background colours on different pages and get people's
opinions there. A brighter link blue & slightly darker tan main background are
things I've been meaning to get tested.

Glad you like it. I was getting really tired of the stark
black-red-white
scheme of the old look of my site, and those freeware H.R. Geiger-ish
images, when I found them in the depths of my HD, set the new tan & blue look
right away. I think the new layout is also way, way better than the old site.
I just wish Prohosting supported PHP, it would make site
maintanence SO much easier! (The thing is 75 HTML pages; 12-13Mg right
now...)
I still need to tweak the exact colours, tho. Maybe this weekend I'll sit down
with Photoshop and my HTML editor and mess around.
When I do this, I'll repost several of the pages with colour variations, and
drop a note to the list asking for opinions.

Only one ickle snag there: they don't WORK.
I was playing with them a while back, I found that pages look COMPLETELY
different on various browsers, because they differ in interpretation of the
stuff, and worse, Netscape requires Javascript turned on to run CSS. And most
people I know have Javascript turned off because of the number of
singing-
dancing-pain-in-the-neck javascripted adverts.
Seriously, CSS involves lots of pain to get everything working right on all
the browsers.
{Disclaimer: I gave up and wrote perl scripts to write massive amounts of
regular HTML instead..}

Content Management System: takes your text files, HTML templates, blends it
all together and will FTP the results that have changed up to your webserver.
There
are several free ones and a couple of cheap-enough type ones. Have a
look at
http://www.fogcreek.com/CityDesk/ for a nice example - there's a
"starter" version which is free, although 1500 page sites will need the pro
versions.

Especially to those using Netscape, who may see blank pages as the result. CSS
= Standard. Standard == Good. But not if the standard isn't actually
implemented by a large slice of the audience.
Hate to say it, but Internet Exploder 5+ is actually more compliant to
the
w3.org's recomendations than Netscape 6.2+. Shame. I hate saying
anything good about any really crappy product (ie any of them) from the
scumsucking

I don't want to whine but this seems to have drifted from my purpose of
posting them. Now I'm enough of a geek to like this kind of conversation but I
was hoping to get others opinion on it and how it will work in game play.
Those that already did replay to me thanks. And thanks for catching the Sia'Na
mistake. I can't believe I made that.

<grin> I sold Netscape localization services, putting 6.0 into Japanese for
simultaneous release with English. Normally Netscape engineers refuse to open
a file in a MS format, but in this case, the English 6.0 version was so buggy
we had to take screen shots in IE5...and the Netscape engineers didn't say a
word.
