Hi, been a lurker on here for a while but having finally picked up some pendraken stuff it's only fair I say hello

Corso. welcome to the forum!

So, what did you pick up?

If you need advice or encouragement this is definitely a place to come.

As a lurker you will be aware of the eclectic mix of sense and nonsense posted :)

I look forwards to future posts ... and perhaps pictures of your efforts?

I've probably gamed every scale,period and genre over the last 40 odd years, these days I tend to play story driven skirmish games or rpgs rather than mass battles.

My current project is 10mm scale fantasy. At the moment I'm working on converting Rangers of shadow deep to that scale but I'm also interested in Pendraken's Dungeon Crawler game and I'm hoping it'll get a re-release at some point

Ok. I don't know what any of that means, but welcome.

I will echo Ithoriel's pleas for photos ... always good to see what others are doing.

Really? It means I'm old and have been around the block but have decided 10mm is my new home

Most people host their images on blogs or one of the 'free' image storage sites and then link to them.

This thread is an explanation of how to link imgur images

The process is even easier now since I wrote that post - there's an add image icon a the top of the reply bar here (between the youtube and the link one) that you just need to paste the image link into. So no faffing with [img] tags etc anymore! Uploading and getting the links from Imgur has been streamlined a bit too but feel free to ask if you get stuck on anything

Also, welcome! I've toyed about a bit with 10mm skirmish stuff, does allow for a nice small game but still with a bit of character.

Just one question.

Rangers of Shadow deep is Magic light so as to not clash with their other adventure frostgrave.

You don't really need a spellcaster

I'll find a suitable one from Pendraken at some point :)

It does auto-scale it somewhat so it looks okay on computers and tablets, for phones I find switching it to desktop view can help for viewing (if you're on android/chrome its the three dots at the top right of the page > desktop site, not sure on iPhone what it is)

You can define specific sizing if you want though

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/59/16577-050723084736.jpeg)

e.g. that's with width 100

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/59/16577-050723084736.jpeg)
 width 250

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/59/16577-050723084736.jpeg)
width 800

etc..

you just need to stick the width number into the "insert an image" bit below where you past the image link
