I have another portion of the site still being worked on, however the online game portion of the site is mostly done.

If anyone here is familiar with Legend of the Red Dragon, BBSing, or MUDs, this will be right up your alley.

Let me know what you think.

Nice site! The "Legend of the Green Dragon" banner at the top doesn't really flow into the block work (stone_edge.gif) you have there. It may be best to just get rid of the 'rock wall' and make that header (header.gif) a bit taller. That, of course is using the vancwest skin. All the other skins look pretty good. Personally, I think that's an awsome option that you've made available. I've only gone as far as adding the option to change templates on my php message boards. I like the fact that it's on a website.

It would also help if you took that dragon (dragon_nav.gif) and turned him green as well. It would kindof give the consistancy to the site. But, I really don't you need to go to too much trouble for that little idea...

I noticed something with some of your skins too. yar2, yarborough, and volcano (the only one's that I've looked at so far) have the header/title repeated at the top. I dunno, I would correct that. I also noticed that the navigation box on the left doesn't change colors when you change templates. Some of the templates (particularly volcano) really doesn't look good with that color blue. But, that's something you can work on later, I guess.

Anyway, that's my take. Love the site, BTW... To me, it's laid out nicely.

I only took the time to give the site a glance, but I was impressed by the skinning ability. Very nice.
Couple of quibbles, the time on the clock is wrong. It's almost three hours behind the time in Britain, but not an even three hours, so it's not a time zone issue. Also, the choose button for skin selection isn't lined up with the skin selector box. It's minor, but that's the sort of thing that would bug me until I got it lined up properly. Apart from that my only suggestion is to look at the graininess on a few of your graphics. They're not bad, but some on of the graphics may have been overly compressed perhaps?
Overall, a good design that left me by and large impressed.

PS I remember playing Legend of the Red Dragon long long ago on a BBS. Nice to know that a version of it is still around and web accessible.
