I'm not sure how useful that would be. A little maybe, but where would you put this image and how would you make the images of the dwarf and the creature? What if the creature's something like a fluffy wambler or a fire snake and not all of the dwarf can fit?
And what does this have to do with vector-based fonts, again? How would vectors help?

« on: January 05, 2013, 06:29:04 pm »Ah.How in the Nine Hells of Baator do you use volcanic vents to smelt metal, assuming that you can survive those depths and get the ore?I was just talking about the phosphorus starting...you italicized heat...
I'm not exactly sure, but doesn't heat need to be more concentrated to work metals other than copper, silver, etc? And aren't most such vents in the cold, crushing depths where intelligent life would be hard-pressed to develop and harder-pressed to survive if it developed elsewhere? And wouldn't it be a bit tough for anything other than creatures adapted to the vents to survive the boiling temperatures nearby? And wouldn't such creatures find it tough to survive in the chilling waters a bit farther away?How in the Nine Hells of Baator do you use volcanic vents to smelt metal, assuming that you can survive those depths and get the ore?YOLO?
Volcanic vents are really hot.... Only extremophiles, and chemotrophs live near them because of the intense heat and chemical output
And heat doesn't need to be applied to start a fire, phosphorus reacts with oxygen to produce heat, aka fire....

« on: January 05, 2013, 06:26:32 pm »Common sense, mostly. Plus, I have a good memory.So, no dramatic changes in action? Would minor tweaks be acceptable?
It's not like anything will really change from what's been going on, just want to prevent something like somebody saying "I make a lesser god even though it saps me of every bit of my power" And somebody else who was weaker but is now stronger attacking them, and then the first guy retconning to say he didn't, and smashing the second guy.
Just sounds dramatic the way I said it.

"Sir, I was wondering if there was any way I could use my skills in your service. As you may know, in addition to being a moderately skilled Wild Mage, in my more foolish years, I defeated some bandits, and more recently I served in the army as a soldier and then an officer. My tour of duty being long over, I left the service once the old king died. I was hoping I could serve you in some aspect, to use those skills I've developed. Would this be possible?"

First off, I ask you not to mess everything up, you do. I ask you TO mess everything up, you keep trying. Is there ANYTHING I can say to make you less likely to do so?
Since you posted after I closed random.org, you're the Death by Having A Ninja Ninja You.
GM TURN:
A [2] random stereotypical drunk Irishman stumbles towards you. Any of you Irish? You might want to punch this guy before he perpetrates the stereotype that Irishmen are violent.
Change location to Compton L.A.[6] I have no idea where that is. Louisiana or Los Angeles?
Summon Giant spider.[5] There's a swarm of Medium Monstrous Spiders rampaging in Something, LA!
Make star.[2] Nope.
Appear and hunt down [2] scapheap. Butcher him and make tasty sandwiches out of the spoils. Eat the spider for dessert if it or anything even vaguely related or similar appears.[4v5] scapheap doesn't seem interested in your "sandwich" idea once you explain the concept of a scapheap sandwich. [1] The spider seems interested in a Harry Baldwich, though. Respawn?
@Title: CHALLENGE ACCEPTED[2] Failure stings.
EVEN THOUGH I'M NOT FURT AND THEREFOR HAVE NO CHANCE OF FURTUKAING ANYTHING.
Summon Darvi(s)!
Put everyone in Scotland.[1] You head to Scotland.
(someone has taken my idea of stealing from Irregular webcomic)((I had it earlier, but discarded it for an infinite void. You ninja.))

« on: January 05, 2013, 05:44:22 pm »No. Not until you tel me how you START the fire underwater. Doesn't fire need oxygen, fuel, and heat to kindle?it burns underwater, different types of phosphorus are more reactiveON fire. And that's nice, but how do you get it set on fire? It's not an alkali metal, which can be set on fire by contact with water IIRC (except the explosive ones), and water retards pretty much any other kind of fire-starting method...phosphorus just tends to stay in fire for A LONG TIMEWell, sodium in its pure form tends to react...poorly...with water, so it's an even worse fuel than it would be for landlubbers.phosphorus..... It can burn in any environment with oxygen..... And at really high temperatures as wellTwo things.And they would need to be able to make spacecraft, which pretty much requires metal, which pretty much requires fire, which pretty much requires you not to be in the water.
One, realism has no place in discussing spacefaring alien species considering we have no idea whatsoever as to what they might be, other than they would need to be intelligent and capable of fine manipulation.
Sodium is similar in that regard, except explosions......
I'm not sure if phorphorous flames would be practical for metalsmithing ever, but here's a question for you: How would they ignite this phosphorous they somehow got?
One starts out with low reaction, and glows when in contact with sit; but turns into the more dangerous one which:
Violently catches fire, and burns well enough underwater
Most fire can survive under water, as long as enough oxygen is there to support it
Then there is magnesium, which when barely heated, converts into powerful magnesium oxide; and in the process creates big flames,that even water cannot put out(it rips the oxygen away from the hydrogen, water fuels this fire.)
I'll stop this derail here
