You’ve certainly put together a very intriguing campaign. I love the quests in the Adventure Log, especially “Save the Princess” (because who could ever turn down a damsel in distress adventure, especially when zombies are involved) and “Dajaani’s symbol” (because my wife played a Peloran Cleric once and I have a soft spot for Peolor).
I also agree with Arsheesh that you’ve done a great job with the wiki and that overall this is a very fine looking campaign site. Good work sir!
When I first started my own site, I knew absolutely zilch about web design. In fact, I’ve always been somewhat of a tehcnophobe. That said, in the last several months I’ve learned enough html to scrape by. The major innovation to my site however, was the addition of GIMP manipulated text & images. If you are not familiar with GIMP, it is basically just a scaled down version of Photoshop. If you like some of the text effects in my site, I recommend downloading the program (it’s absolutely free!) and messing around with it. You will also need to download the “Layer Styles” plug-in from the GIMP plug-in registry. With this plug-in installed, you can do quite a bit of cool stuff with regular ol’ fonts. For an example, check out the home page and Introduction page of my other site, Age of Legends (http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/age-of-legends).
Another recommendation would be to check out ChainsawXIV’s help and tips sticky (http://forums.obsidianportal.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=1114&page=1#Item_19). There is tons of useful info on how to format your OP site using both html and textile. This said, even without these formatting tips, I think your site is quite good. I like the simplicity of the layout. It is simple and user friendly, not cluttered like allot of other sites I’ve seen.
Thought I’d drop by and see who it was that favored my site. I’ve been having a look around the site and I like what I see so far. In fact, I reaaaaly like the Jaryn/Emesha story. I haven’t read through any of your adventure logs yet, but now you’ve got me really curious. Kudos.
Like the look of the sight though I must admit I was a bit surprised to see Middenheim in the maps section renamed to something else.

Hey Grendlesparks, your new wiki system is looking sweet man! Nice job.

I like this site’s home page. It comes right out and says exactly what it is. Looking forward to seeing some bios an background on players, too.
