Thank you so much for the kind words Twiggyleaf. We are fortunate to have such a strong creative group and it really makes doing the art for everything pretty easy. I worked really hard to make everything look good but it is especially gratifying to hear that it is easy to navigate and read. That is always a concern with such an image intensive website.

Congratulations on CotM. It is such a good thing that we have this. For most of the year, I have been quite aware of the sites that won the nomination, but in this case, Emerald City was new to me. First glance exploded with WOW! factor and demanded an immediate FAVORITE recognition. Now that I have had time to read through some of the site, I have to commend the HUM for his excellent design and sharp eye. The wiki organisation is brilliant and the entries are both pleasing to the eye and easy to follow.

I particularly like the fact that although there is a lot of art work going on, with excellent blocking, pictures, backgrounds, colours, etc., the fonts are simple clear and easy to read. Bravo for that!

The characters all have very detailed backgrounds and are most interesting to read. Pictures are amazingly rendered throughout the site and I really do like the sense of uniformity that one gets moving through the different sections, each being both informative and dare I say it, “PRETTY DARN COOL

Having read a couple of action logs, it seems the campaign is a high action high fun level game and I envy all of those involved in it. Living in Seattle must give it extra life. I only know Seattle from playing Shadowrun, but it must be so much more relevant when you need to envisage a place if you have actually been there yourself.

Thanks for drawing me in further and for keeping the standard of new campaigns in Obsidian Portal so high!

Thanks guys! I had hoped we would earn the award some day but was completely surprised that it was so soon and so sudden.

A heartfelt congratulations to you on your COTM win! I continue to enjoy the site and the logs. Keep up the great work!

Jaymes, I appreciate you faving the campaign. It was a lot of fun actually to do all the NPC portraits. Luckily the campaign started out relatively small with only a few NPCs at first. But after over a year of solid playing more and more were added blossoming to the huge list we have today. As for Wolfhound, he was the main reason I decided to try this all out. Without his tutorials on his Dallas site I never would have taken on this project. Thanks for the comments.

Great job. Love the Adventure Logs and that ALL your NPCs have pictures (that must have been a pain in the ass!) I see some definite Wolfhound influence (the man makes me envious when it comes to his ability to make a campaign look great and he helped me a lot on mine as well) plus your own spin on it. Keep up the good work!

Thanks Arsheesh. I appreciate the kind words. I appreciate you faving the campaign too. I should also give credit to my fellow players. We created the Emerald City together and all that imagination was very inspiring.

Wow! I’m really impressed with what you’ve accomplished with this site HumAnnoyd. It’s not often I see a site of this caliber. Great job!

Cheers,

Awwww. You say the nicest things. :D

But seriously I don’t know if I ever would have been able to accomplish this without those excellent tutorials you set up. Like I said I have never done any coding. Unless you count an HTML class I took 20 years ago. And things have changed a bit since then.

Nonono, I just helped a little when you got stuck here and there. The overwhelming mass of this work is all you. It looks GREAT

Thanks Dread. It has been a very good learning experience for me. I must give credit to Wolfhound for all the excellent tutorials he has on his DFRPG Dallas site. I wouldn’t have been able to do any of this without them.

Thanks Wildhunt I really appreciate that. It has been a lot of fun to work on and it is gratifying to hear that all that effort is appreciated.

I followed your link from the forums asking for a review. I am not qualified to review any site as my coding is very ordinary but I can give an opinion. Holy Fricken Wow!! Your site is incredible and you have worked hard to really keep on theme with everything, from front page to player portraits.

I am jealous of your players man, congratulations, this is a fantastic site. I really hope you get some great reviews for your site.

Thanks Loki. I am in the middle of giving the whole thing a face lift so keep posted.
