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?
Pylortes of the Scions of Darkness.

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.

Was Donaldson thinking of an antelope's horns when Teresa heard horns?

The description for the Ur-Vile in the Store cracks me up every time I read it:
"Ur-vile: Wedgin' it out since '77."

Are the points erned for Mallory's posts good to buy anything?
I don't plan on buying anything, as I plan on donating all my WGD's everytime I hit 500....I'm just curious.
I thought you were a ripe grape
a cabernet sauvignon
a bottle in the cellar
the kind you keep for a really long time

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
