Does the silence about own brand of items mean that they are not good enough?

I thought they were okay. Except they need to be 29x58 pixels, which is an 8x58 black edge for the name, and a 21x58 picture.

Maybe you just need to be clearer in your asking to get those added as items. Vain added mine pretty quick.

Hmmm... I just tried to make a Mordant's Need themed item The Pure Sand of Dreams and failed hard.

What kind of font do you need to use for text that small?

The font is antigoni.

And i haven't had enough time to sepnd on items unfortunately - i don't mean to be rude by appearing to ignore questions :(

Sometimes it's better if you pm me and then i can focus that way but the items do need to be a standard size - as wayfriend kindly pointed out :) The width of the black edge is negotiable by a pixel or two though :)

It's really, really hard to squeeze in letters that small.

It usually needs 6 point. And you need a graphic editor that that can pixelate the fonts with shades of grey, rather than just black and white. 6 pt Arial Narrow can work, but it doesn't look the same.

The description for the Ur-Vile in the Store cracks me up every time I read it:

"Ur-vile: Wedgin' it out since '77."

Is there any way to see what items exist, but are sold out to members?

You'll have to check in the user's profile and click on "user items", I think
