Kevin's Watch

Duchess, that black box runs a movie like trailer that plays some cool background music while running the words that V-S put down.

It doesn't work on all browsers. I had to open IE to run it. It's neat but my only comment is that the trailer takes a long time to download, and a lot of people will be there and gone by the time it does unless they are on a fast connection.

Like the link to the watch.

This is excellent! I'm scanning more covers now and will scan the Drool Rockworm one, too.

Great. Just great.

I think I am blind after all. Where is the link to KW on that site??

EDIT: I _am_ blind. Found it.

The Flash trailer is 1.3M, so it might take a few minutes to load. Hopefully this can be tweaked down a bit in size.

If you can't see the trailer, install the Flash plug-in from here:

www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer/

... then visit the srd.com site again and click Refresh. Normally if a browser doesn't have the necessary plug-in, it will prompt you to install it from the proper site. Not sure why that didn't do it in this case.

(it does work in both IE and Netscape for me - what browser and version are people running where it's not working properly?)

YEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!! I'm off. *Runs away*


heh, I think the discussion board sucks though... I'd be dead before I visit that hellhole...

That's nice Darth! Amy the discussion board is in About the Author, but I didn't want to tell you I wanted you to find out on your own, more fun that way... Yes Brian's analysis is quite ..er..interesting to say the least. I was sad last night cause I couldn't hear the music-but then again I haven't reset Windows Media since I reconfirgured my comp a week ago-DUH!

I hope it gets bigger... Maybe provide what happens in the stories...

It looks plenty big to me, but I do have a 19 inch monitor....

I think the link to KW will give anybody all the story info they could possibly want.

No... because I can't find ut all of what happens in MN...

And I'm sorry for that post dAN... it does seem a bit rude... I'll edit it.

SRD's site is awesome!!! Can't wait for the Runes of the Earth to hit the shelves!!!!

Thanks to Danlo & others for making the effort to contact Mr Donaldson!

Well, I downloaded that flashplayer thing, rebooted my computer not once, but twice -- and still nothing but a black box. I guess some things are just not meant to be.

Sure you waited long enough? The first time I went there it took five mins.

Maybe not. I only gave it a couple of minutes.

I think if you see the black box, it means that you do have Flash installed - but you just need to wait for it to fully load. The are some words on the first page of the trailer that are meant as a delaying tactic (look at the words on page 1 while page 2 loads in the backgroun), but it sounds like that "streaming" (downloading and viewing one page at a time) isn't working correctly.

This is amazing! I love the site! And I love the trailer! I want the Runes of the Earth now!!!

btw, that brown cannot have been the same brown as we had for a short while here (why? Since I loved the SRD-site brown... )... I think it might have been too much yellow in the text too - perhaps the text should be light-yellow? And keep the orange down to a minimum...

Murrin and I must have about the same connection speed, because this afternoon I gave it the full five minutes...and sure enough! Worth the wait.

It just occurred to me... If I was an author who was getting an official website, and I needed a discussion board to go with it, I would spend a good amount of time looking at them before I picked one. Anybody worried that he might have read YOUR posts? heh
