is having a hard time
I wish i knew this genre of games better and i want to try as much as I can to be a group member and contribute... I know that all I need to do is write a simple help screen which also tells you how to play the game itself, but it would help to have the things, other than what the classes of the races are all about written down in dot points so i can finally get it all written down in a nice paragraph..

Website Artwork
I have started creating the graphics for the website. Sarah is doing the layout. We are using a still from the game, trees and mountains, for a page background. The menu will have a stone wall background with the wooden signs for buttons
All graphics are based on ones from the actual game. So that you will be able to go pretty seamlessly from the website into the game.
We are also going to look at having some kind of looped animated goblin graphic. Maybe that walks when on mouse-over or something.
