This site is full of original material for players of table-top role-playing games. Input and collaboration is welcomed! Please read more about the site here. Or just dive in to whatever looks interesting.
A couple of recommendations: GURPS players, check out what's at The GURPS Diner. The house special is GULLIVER, an easy rules expansion for creating and playing odd-sized creatures. To see the lunch, dinner, wine, and kids' menus all at once, peek at the site map. Take your time; the busboy will be along shortly to clear you a place.

At least, compared to the last iteration it seems to. The new scheme, lovingly hand-tooled, is perhaps a wee... rich and mellow for a site of this nature, but who says an armchair game designer can't have a soft armchair. So far things appear to work for me. A few glitches: the page's top banner looks good in Firefox, but gains a little too much height in Safari, and gains that height plus a peek-through stripe of the tan background color in IE. Sigh... Will fix when I can. Let me know what bugs you find. Thanks. -end-

Looking at the site's structure and debug outline in Opera, however, I can see an outline of something around the search bar which extends above the table line. If I had to guess, I would say that Firefox and Opera are taking the table structure into account and eliminating that extra bit, and IE isn't.
If so, "margin-top: 0px" on all of the elements of the search element would be the solution. Another solution, if you don't mind losing the blue-gray border between the black and the dark green, is to add "table#primary-menu {margin-bottom: -3px; }" to the main CSS file.

Sat, 2006-12-30 15:54 — tboneThis is potentially very helpful; thank you! CSS isn't yet my bag, so there's no "Tbone Way" to defile. This is a ready-made, popular graphic theme for Drupal, which I clumsily hacked my way through to change colors, some width and font properties, etc.; somewhere along the line I did something to introduce the IE bug, which doesn't show up in the original theme. (Once I get to where I'm making my own themes, I'm sure I'll keep them simpler than these multi-file, complex themes that keep confounding me. : )
I'll try the ideas you suggest. In a while – first come the New Year's holidays, and then I need to get my hands on a machine with IE again for testing. I will give it a shot, though; thanks!
