Sorry if i kind of promote the ff site here , but i lost my news system (do not know why it no longer works?!) whill try and move the news system to the planning blog and update the news there, meanwhile i put here some site news (if it's okay): 1-Now the site's android apk download stays at google drive (to cut off extenal site publicity) 2-A Costum google search bar specific for gamebooks search as been created on the site(some extenal site publicity but not seeking revenue on this) Also: There was a dialog to between me and the fightingfantasy.net owner eather to put the costum google search bar hope people like it!!

Just a quick question : Is it ok to use the fighting fantasy logo on the site or am i making some sort of infrigment, toughts please? I think Phil is probably right on this, but I'm pretty sure you would be in infringement territory nonetheless. Some companies are really hot on this sort of thing - like Disney - whilst other brands are more relaxed. I've had my knuckle's rapped by Warner Brothers before over something similar (naughty me), so you have three options as I see it. Ask them first. Don't do it. Or take a chance, but be prepared to remove it if they ask you to do so. I imagine you would be okay with FF, but after my run in with Warner Bros. I've learnt that its not always the best thing to make assumptions. (They just told me to remove it or else they would take action. So i removed it. Fast. Then all was good.) Hope this helps. It seems I am making an infringement after all I just got a notice to get it removed from the site. Sent from my SUNSET2 using proboards

They are within their rights to ask, so I would politely do as they say. Your site will still look good.

If it was a mocking site i would agree with you , but it is a fully respectable ff fan site so i am kind of sad , either way it was removed already. Cheers.

Just some impressions and ideas:
Make nearly all text bigger! You have the room for it. The body text (the actual story text) can be bigger like 20px. See the 2.3 Alphabets I added for comparison. To make it easier to read make the line length between two and three alphabets. More on it hereThe all-caps headings like "PROLOGUE" and "BACKGROUND" are a bit hard to read. Try small-caps instead. CSS has a font property for it and maybe both are in the body text color.
A) is the area of skills looks very cluttered. Think of how they are in the FF books or character sheet in pen&paper RPGs. There they are tables, organized in grids because you find values easily, try that for improvement. Also the white border of the dice icons need to be removed. If you have trouble drawing your own icons have look at game-icons.net/ they have great ones and are free to use.
B) needs some clean up. Do not center the menu items but left align them. Also use buttons for all of them or none of them but don't mix it. Write "Font Size" like the other menu items. Also make "Go To" and "Speak Text" just one line above the text line a menu bar. How about the page goto button on the left as I guess it is the most used and put the speak text button to the right as most people won't use it.
That are just some hints or ideas. Keep up the good work and have fun!

Music for the adventures added to the site, it's basically embeds a music clip from youtube on the footer.
