Blackback is resting on his laurels for the moment, but he's not going anywhere. :)

Re: Idle curiosity - How do YOU get in the groove?

More than 20 years or roleplaying makes the getting-into-character step rather natural; I know very well how my characters work and how they would react to most situations. For those I play here on UV, it of course also helps that my longest-running characters have been around for almost 6 years, th...

Love the colours!

Just dropping in to let you guys (and Gaeva) know that this colour scheme rocks! I always liked muted colours. :trollgrin:
It actually reminds me of the UV colours when first joining here, oh so long time ago.

Continued absense

Hi, just letting people know I'm still alive. I'm busy with my PhD and this consumes much of my efforts; I pull off a painting now and then, but UV stuff is on a backburner at the moment. I'm not gone from UV, but I will continue to be scarce here for some time to come. Thus I have for now pulled al...

Re: The Grey Fortress (Ebb is here)

Some time later, those happening to watch in the right direction, would see a huge shape rising from the hill fortress, climbing in circles before it was lost out of sight among the clouds.

Re: Blackback's Shop (OPEN FOR BUSINESS!)

OOC : I've not had time to keep up with this for far too long, so I'd better release everyone (notably Toadie) and close Blackback's for now.
He will be back! But not for a while ...

Toadie, we'll assume Blackback and Töd came to an agreement on those hair-colours.

Re: What is your favorite free art program?

GIMP does everything a normal graphics user could ever want to use Photoshop for, and as such is a very worthy replacement for no cost. As with all complex programs however, there is something of a learning curve. There are plenty of resources on the web (including GIMP's online manual). I have also...

Re: The Grey Fortress (Ebb is here)

The balraa kneeled down on the ground to avoid toppling over. There was no risk of the Grey actually tumbling anywhere, but Ebb nevertheless retracted his wings fully. As the tremors ceased, his words was for the Balraa warrior, who was unsteadily regaining her footing, careful for further quakes. &...

Re: Blackback's Shop (OPEN FOR BUSINESS!)

Blackback nodded, unaware of any standoffish attitude from Töd; She should know he cared little about how dark or not a heart was when it came to customers. He was a mountain troll himself, after all. Looking around to make sure nothing else was coming down from his shelves, he looked down at the el...
