May Entry: Mordenkainen's Force Disc in the Infinite Astral Nebulae

[Aval Penworth]

I take out my fishing pole and sit at the edge for a few hours and see what's biting. Cool idea.

Okay, you sit down, eternity goes by, but you don't catch anything. Now what do you do?

reminds me of an old dragon article where 4 immortal characters came to their ending.... so my answer will be ... "write across character sheet RETIRED, and roll up new character"

Over here in Brittyland its all crazy. We have meters all over the place like if you buy a sheet of plywood or plasterboard its a standard 2440mm long. Yes nice standard that. Oh that just happens to be 8ft of course... then we buy all our petrol in litres but all the cars print up fuel consumption in miles per gallon on the dash. The speed limits are all in miles per hour, your odometer is in miles only and your tyre pressures are always in pounds per square inch. Your engine capacity will be in cubic centimeters but its output is always quoted in horse power tho lighbulbs and almost every other power unit is done in Watts. Talking more of pressure, the weather reports list pressure in Bar not Pascals but the temperature is in Celcius tho half the population talk about the weather being warm only in the 80's or 90's like we would all boil to death. We buy milk in cartons of 2.27 litres or 3.4 litres but you have to be careful cos some places like small corner shops sell it for the same price in 3 ltr cartons too. Also, unless you have a penchant for getting your head kicked in, you don't go to the pub and ask for a litre of Dry Blackthorn either though if you go to the supermarket and get some, then it will come in a 2 litre bottle. Thou is still used a lot in engineering tolerances but I would say the majority of engineering and science are all metric now. Land is still sold in Acres, office rental space and house floor areas still quoted in feet square tho carpet to cover that same space will be sold per meter square. And even if you go to the horse races and get the race length then its in Furlongs and the horse itself is measured in Hands. Energy is done in Calories, Therms, BTUs and Joules with almost equal mix. There's almost no instance where if we have the option of using imperial or metric that we don't in fact use both and we use almost every variety of every possible unit we have available.

So less of the stupid non British !

wow... nice summary redrobes.. now if you could just start driving in the right side of the road, your life would be perfect *lol*
It just goes to tell that changing from imperial to metric is no small deal ... all those standards through hundreds of years that suddenly has to change ... well in Denmark/Sweden (and guessing most of europe) we have:
Sodas in ½, 1½, 2 liters
Beer in ,33 liter or ,66 liter (don't ask me why) ... but in bars you just ask for a small or big beer
booze in ,7 and 1 liters
wood per meter but plumming is measured in inches (they won't give in those plummers)
land is in m2 and so is housing
Celsius - yep (so I prefer mid twenties so my beer don't get to warm)
fuel in liters also in the cars ... although I do believe my car can switch between miles and km an hour in settings
tyrepressure in bar
engine in cubic centimeters but nobody understand that - they all use Horse power
energy in food is calories in physics its joules

guess that sums it up...
and D&D is still imperial

Hello!!!! Challenge thread here!!! *LMAO*

[tilt]

no need to thank us for pulling in the crowd
but.. to be serious for a moment... the shadow is better now - but try making it a bit darker where the feet hits the ground. And love you've put Ascension in there... *rofl*, I'm guessing he's going to leave before the competion ends or you would have made nicer writing

[Redrobes]

Yeah - Ahem - yeah... nice shadows !...

[Aval Penworth]

Okay, to continue with the concept...

Can you follow the runic progression to the dimesion door? The runes will disappear when you step on each section. If you fail to follow the progression exactly escape is impossible.

Oh, that's cool! I was wondering where you were going with the radial grid; I like this idea a lot. On the disc they look awesome, but I could wish for a bit more contrast in the key.
